    • Care and Maintenance

      Cryptocoryne Wendtii Affinis Red, like other Cryptocoryne species, is sensitive to environmental changes such as water quality, lighting, fertilizer, and temperature. During the transition period, it may lose leaves or melt. It s essential to provide stable conditions and give the plant a few weeks to adapt. Once acclimated, it will reward you with healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

      • Light: Low to moderate lighting is sufficient, making it ideal for a variety of aquarium setups.

      • Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate is beneficial.

      • CO2: Not required but can enhance growth.

      • Fertilization: Regular dosing with liquid fertilizers supports healthy development.

        • Propagation

          After the initial adjustment period, Cryptocoryne Wendtii Affinis Red often produces baby plants from its roots. To propagate, carefully separate the new plants and replant them in the substrate. This natural propagation method ensures a lush, dense growth over time.
