Description
Cryptocoryne retrospiralis is a slender, grass-like crypt with long, narrow green leaves that have gently wavy margins, forming an upright rosette that resembles a tuft of aquatic grass. Its fine, linear form makes Cryptocoryne retrospiralis a graceful choice for the midground or background, where a group creates a soft, meadow-like band in a planted aquascape.
Cryptocoryne retrospiralis is a hardy, rooted plant that thrives in low to moderate light without CO₂ and feeds heavily through its roots. Plant Cryptocoryne retrospiralis in a nutrient-rich substrate with root tabs, and allow time to establish; a period of crypt melt after planting is normal before it settles and pushes out new grassy leaves.
Undemanding and elegant, Cryptocoryne retrospiralis is ideal for beginners and for low-tech, community and shrimp tanks, spreading slowly by runners into a lush clump. Add Cryptocoryne retrospiralis for easy, grassy structure that moves beautifully in the current.
