Best Locations For Growing Cryptocoryne Wendtii
Cryptocoryne wendtii can be planted in small groupings to make a beautiful focal point. It requires stable conditions and a little time to adjust to its new environment. They are an ideal plant for the foreground or midground in the tank. They are easy to maintain once established but avoid drastic changes in their surroundings so the leaves don't turn mushy.
Cryptocoryne Wendtii Sunlight Requirements
This plant prefers low to moderate full-spectrum light, but it tolerates a wide range of light levels. When placed in lower light conditions, it produces longer foliage.
Cryptocoryne Wendtii Care
Cryptocoryne wendtii can be grown submerged or emersed. Allow your plant to settle into its new environment and leave it be. It prefers not to be moved once it’s planted. Propagation is easy, simply remove a portion of the root with the stem attached, then relocate it to another part of the substrate.
Watering Cryptocoryne Wendtii
Keep water pH levels around 6 - 7.5 and average water temperatures from 71 - 86 degrees F. Cryptocoryne does not like to be relocated once planted. Be mindful not to make drastic changes to the aquarium, as they will need a little time to acclimate to a new aquarium environment.
Feeding Cryptocoryne Wendtii
Cryptocoryne wendtii is a root feeder and develops a large system of roots that are not visible above the substrate. CO2 injections and quality aquarium soil will promote lush growth.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
