Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my crypt’s leaves melt after planting?
“Crypt melt” after a move or big water change is common and usually temporary — leave the roots in place and fresh leaves will regrow within a few weeks.
Will it stay red in low light?
It holds colour better under medium light; in low light it leans more bronze-green, but it still grows and spreads reliably either way.
Does it need CO₂?
No — like other Cryptocoryne wendtii, it’s an easy, low-tech-friendly plant that thrives without CO₂ injection.
When will my pre-order ship?
This plant is imported to order; typical arrival is around 15 days from purchase, and we’ll email dispatch and tracking details.
