Description

This Cryptocoryne is a low-growing aquarium plant that propagates through runners, forming dense carpets on the substrate. It was previously known as "Cryptocoryne nevillii", but it belongs to the hybrid complex of Cryptocoryne x willisii, not the species C. nevillii. The group originates from riverbanks in Sri Lanka's central highlands. The plant has medium green leaves with no pattern on top, and leaf blades are shorter and longish-ovate to lanceolate.

Nitrate (NO3): 10-50mg/L
Phosphate (PO4): 0.1-3mg/L
Potassium (K): 5-30mg/L
Iron (Fe): 0.01-0.5mg/L
