Also known as the Water Trumpet is a striking crypt plant with reddish, ruffle-textured leaves, ideal for mid-ground accents. Beginner-friendly, it’s sensitive to water parameter changes and may undergo “crypt melt” when introduced to a new tank. This normal process involves cutting away any rot and stabilizing water conditions. Moderate to low lighting suffices, and like many crypts, it requires calcium, CO2, phosphate, iron, and nitrate. Propagation occurs through runners, and planting stems one inch apart or in bunches ensures good coverage. This versatile plant can be rooted in the substrate or attached to rock or driftwood using cotton thread or fishing wire.
