C30 – Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Tiger’ (Tissue Culture Plant)

Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Tiger’ (C30) is an attractive variant of Cryptocoryne known for its elongated, spiral-shaped leaves and unique tiger-patterned markings. Grown in sterile tissue culture (C30 cup), this plant is free from pests, algae, and chemicals, making it safe for shrimp and sensitive aquariums.

This plant grows well in low to moderate lighting and adapts easily to a wide range of water parameters. When established, it develops long, flowing leaves that add height, texture, and movement to aquascapes. It is best suited for mid-ground to background placement, especially in nature-style and biotope aquariums.

Like other Cryptocorynes, it may experience crypt melt after planting, but it recovers strongly once adapted. With proper care and a nutrient-rich substrate, Cryptocoryne spiralis ‘Tiger’ becomes a hardy and long-lasting addition to planted aquariums.
