Aquadip Cryptocoryne petchii

An easy-to-keep, time-tested crypt from Sri Lanka. It is a triploid form of C. beckettii and develops lanceolate submersed leaves with an undulated margin, whose upper side is brown and whose underside is red. It does well in soft and hard water and still grows when the lighting is weak, however, it does better under moderate light.

t is very easy to cultivate, and possesses the typical characteristics of a Cryptocoryne from Sri Lanka. It adapts well to soft as well as to hard water, light is relatively unimportant, even though it grows better under more intensive light. The brown-green rosettes that form soon after the plant is placed in the tank spread quickly and form dense bushes. Nutrient-rich substrates enhance growth. The plant reacts nicely to ample fertilisation and to CO2, but it grows sufficiently well without these components, too.

Natalie ★★★★★

The undulated leaf edges give it way more texture than I expected for a crypt, and it settled into my gravel without any melt drama. It’s been three weeks and every stem is holding its lanceolate shape, even under just a desk lamp.

Emma N. ★★★★★

Planted these in my low-tech tank and they've adapted so well — the lanceolate leaves with that wavy edge really stand out against my other plants. Such a solid, easy crypt for beginners.

Leo ★★★★☆

This triploid form settled in quickly and the lanceolate leaves with their wavy edges add real texture to my tank. It's been growing steadily for a couple weeks now with no special care needed, which is exactly what I wanted.
