Tropica Cryptocoryne crispatula CUP

Cryptocoryne crispatula or Knobbed Water Goblet loves hard water, good lighting and nutritious soils. Otherwise the Thai rosette grows frugally. You should allow it some acclimatization time, then it can shoot up between 20 to 60cm - a perfect background candidate or solitaire. Please with plenty of space and the opportunity to let leaves dance on the surface of the water. The colour development is exciting: either completely greenish or completely red-brownish. The lance-like leaves are adorned with a characteristic knobbed embossing - extraordinary!

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
