Tropica In Vitro Cryptocoryne undulata 'Broad Leaf'

Tropica In Vitro Cryptocoryne undulata 'Broad Leaf'

100% sterile laboratory aquarium plants in sealed cups.

This red version of Cryptocoryne undulata occurs naturally in rivers in Sri Lanka. The plant is easy to care for and tolerates many different conditions in the aquarium.

• Their appearance depends in part on these conditions.
  Low light and nutrient levels in the aquarium cause the plant to grow relatively tall, green-brown in color, and with slow growth.
  More light and nutrients, combined with additional CO2, cause the plant to grow considerably faster with shorter leaves in a reddish-brown color.
