Cryptocoryne crispatula

The grass-leaved water lily – Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae – is an attractive and robust aquarium plant from the Tropica InVitro series. It is supplied in sterile laboratory beakers, which guarantees the highest quality and freedom from pests or algae.

Origin and habitat:
This plant originates from southern Thailand, where it thrives in calcareous waters. This means it is used to harder water, but has few environmental requirements overall. However, for optimal growth it prefers intense light and a nutrient-rich substrate.

Adaptation period and growth:
Like many other species in the Cryptocoryne family, this plant requires some time to grow before it reaches its full growth potential. The leaves can reach impressive lengths of 20 to 60 cm, while the plant unfolds to a width of 15 to 20 cm.

### Ideal placement:
Due to the long, elegant leaves, it is recommended to place it at the back of the aquarium. Here the leaves can grow towards the water surface and float there in an impressive manner. The color palette ranges from rich green to reddish brown tones, which provides additional visual variety.

With the **Grass-leaved Water Lily** you bring an easy-care but visually appealing plant into your aquarium. Its elegant, long leaves give every tank a natural, decorative accent. This high-quality plant from the Tropica InVitro series will enrich your aquarium!
