C30 – Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ (C30) is one of the most popular and reliable Cryptocoryne varieties, valued for its rich green, slightly wavy leaves and excellent adaptability. Supplied in a sterile tissue culture (C30 cup), this plant is free from algae, pests, and harmful chemicals, making it safe for shrimp and sensitive aquariums.

This plant thrives in low to moderate lighting and adapts well to a wide range of water conditions, making it ideal for beginners. Once established, it forms dense, bushy growth that adds natural fullness and texture to aquascapes. It is best suited for mid-ground placement, though it can also be used as a low background plant in smaller tanks.

Like most Cryptocorynes, it may experience initial leaf melt after planting, but it recovers well and produces strong new growth with stable parameters and a nutrient-rich substrate.
