Cryptocoryne Wendtii "Brown" is a beautiful brown variety of Cryptocoryne Wendtii. It is a mistake to believe that this plant requires soft water. In large parts of Sri Lanka the water is hard, so Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes are almost all suitable for hard European water. If the plant is affected by the so called "cryptocoryne disease", do not remove it from the aquarium because a few weeks later it will produce new shoots.

Normally the leaves of Cryptocorynes grow out from a rosette which is so compact that the stem between the individual leaves is invisible. When you buy Cryptocorynes in pots, it is important that they are not planted in a lump but separated into smaller portions and preferably planted a few centimeters apart.
