Description
Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ is a grassy, rosette-forming crypt with long, narrow, slightly twisted leaves that take on warm reddish-brown tones under good light. Unlike broad-leaved crypts, Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ has a fine, flowing look that makes it an excellent mid-to-background plant, swaying gently like aquatic grass in a planted tank.
Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ is a hardy, rooted plant that grows well in low to moderate light without CO₂, drawing most of its nutrition from the substrate. Plant the roots of Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ in a nutrient-rich substrate or add root tabs, and be patient after planting; like all crypts it may ‘melt’ then regrow adapted to its new tank.
Tough and undemanding once settled, Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ is well suited to beginners and to low-tech, community and shrimp tanks. It spreads slowly by runners into a grassy clump, so add Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Red’ for an easy, flowing rosette with warm colour.
