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.
