C30 – Cryptocoryne ‘Flamingo’

Cryptocoryne ‘Flamingo’ (C30) is one of the most sought-after Cryptocoryne varieties, prized for its delicate pastel pink to blush-colored leaves. Grown in sterile tissue culture (C30 cup), this plant is completely free from algae, pests, and harmful chemicals, making it safe for shrimp and sensitive aquariums.

This plant prefers moderate lighting and stable water parameters. A nutrient-rich substrate and CO₂ supplementation greatly help maintain its vibrant pink coloration. Due to its compact growth habit, Cryptocoryne ‘Flamingo’ is best placed in the foreground to mid-ground, where its unique color can act as a subtle focal point.

Like other Cryptocorynes, it may experience initial leaf melt after planting, but once adapted, it grows steadily and rewards patience with stunning coloration.
