Large motherplant, grown in a 9 cm square pot.

This beautiful variety with the dark, hammered leaves is named after 'Tropica'. When grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom. It is suitable for small aquariums with leaves from 10-20 cm, and a rosette from 10-20 cm wide. Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard water.

Victoria C. ★★★★★

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.

Violet S. ★★★★★

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.

Harper ★★★★★

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.
