 Becketti reaches six inches. With a heated, nutrient-rich substrate, it grows very well. It spreads by adventitious plantlets (small shoots from its stem), creating an attractive bush of a plant. The dark green leaves are oblong and on long stems. C. becketti is a sturdy plant, and many bottom-dwelling fish will use it for cover. Temps are 77-82 (25-28 C). They do not like to be moved, but once established are very hardy, long-lived plants.
