Description
Special Notes:
-
Adaptability: Very adaptable and beginner-friendly. Can tolerate a wide range of water conditions.
-
“Crypt Melt”: Like other Cryptocoryne species, it may undergo “crypt melt” when introduced to a new environment — leaves die off but regrow once the plant acclimates.
-
Substrate: Prefers nutrient-rich substrate but can grow in inert substrate with water column fertilization.
Use in Aquascaping:
‘Brown’ adds contrast and natural earthy tones, especially when paired with green or red plants. Ideal for natural or jungle-style aquascapes.
