Tropica In Vitro Cryptocoryne nurii “Rose Maiden”

100% sterile laboratory aquarium plants in sealed cups.

This beautiful variation of Cryptocoryne nurii was discovered in the wild in Malaysia around 1970. It became popular in aquariums under the name "Rose Maiden".

This plant is just as easy to grow as Cryptocoryne wendtii and has the same size and leaf shape. Over time, runners form beneath the soil, often appearing quite far from the mother plant.

The intensity of the color and patterns in the leaves depends on the light and the nutrition.
