Wendt's Cryptocoryne
Photo © Animal-World The Wendt's Cryptocoryne is a wonderful aquarium plant to decorate the midground or background with a dense plant look, because it loves to grow in close together in groups!The Wendt's Cryptocoryne plant is a fairly tall plant and can grow 14 to 16 inches (35 to 40 cm) if well taken care of. It only requires basic fertilization with an iron-rich fertilizer, a neutral pH, and moderate to bright lights depending on how you want it to look. Their color varies quite a bit, from olive green to green to reddish-brown, with the bottom of the leaves an orange-brown, all depending on how bright the light is. They have a moderate to fast growth rate and it is best to plant them separately to allow them to group together and create dense planted areas.
