Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya'
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' stands out as a captivating variant within the C. wendtii family, boasting rich reddish-brown leaves with a well-defined structure. Native solely to the Mi Oya river in Sri Lanka, where warm waters flow.
While not as common in the hobby, its cultivation proves straightforward. Enriched nutrient substrates promote healthy growth, while lighting influences its form—ample light encourages a horizontal leaf position, while reduced light prompts vertical growth. Unlike many C. wendtii varieties, 'Mi Oya' is resistant to rot and doesn't necessitate CO2 supplementation.
With its robust growth, it serves as a captivating focal point in the middleground or background of smaller aquariums.
