XL Cryptocoryne wendtii Tropica

The mother plant arrived in a massive 9 cm pot packed with roots and healthy dark, hammered leaves. It's already spreading across the substrate, just as described.

I pulled the pot out and was surprised by how dense the root system was — way more developed than any crypt I’ve bought before. The leaves already have that classic hammered texture Tropica is known for, and it’s settling in nicely in my low-tech tank.

The motherplant really filled out my 20-gallon in about three weeks, and those hammered leaves stay tight to the substrate just like the description says. Even the root system in that 9 cm pot was surprisingly dense, so it settled in without melting a single leaf.
