Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' is a vibrant and low-maintenance aquarium plant, known for its bright green, wavy leaves and adaptability. This hardy aquatic plant is one of the most popular midground plants in the aquascaping world, thriving in a wide range of tank conditions. Its dense, bushy growth makes it an excellent choice for natural aquascapes, providing a lush, jungle-like appearance that enhances the beauty of planted tanks.

Easy Growth & Low-Tech Friendly Aquarium Plant

One of the best features of C. wendtii 'Green' is its ability to thrive in low-tech setups. It grows well in low to moderate lighting, does not require CO₂ injection, and adapts to various water parameters.

This plant flourishes in a nutrient-rich substrate, where it develops a strong root system. Unlike other Cryptocoryne species that display reddish or brown hues, C. wendtii 'Green' maintains a vibrant, bright green coloration, making it a perfect contrast to darker-leaved plants like Anubias or Bucephalandra.
