Cryptocoryne Hudoroi

Cryptocoryne Petchii is a smaller version of Crypt Beckettii which originates from Sri Lanka. The leaves are generally smaller and more slender with a dark green to olive brown and a purple underside. As with all crypt plants, this plant can be sensitive to changes in water parameters and don’t like to be moved. It is normal for the plant to undergo “crypt melt” when introduced to a new tank, or if water conditions change too much. The leaves of the plant begin to rot and essentially melt away. If this process begins, you can cut away any rot and attempt to stabilize the water. They should produce new growth once they have acclimated. These plants will also melt if the lighting is too strong. Moderate to low lighting is sufficient for this plant.

• Live aquatic plant for freshwater aquariums
• Desirable small form for foregrounds in the aquascape
• Easy care. Plant in to aqua soil or other planted aquarium subtrate
• This plant is much easier to grow submersed, however. All crypt plants hate changes in water parameters and will undergo “crypt melt” if conditions vary too much.
