Summarized by Shop
The Crypt that tolerates almost anything. Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Brown' grows bronze-brown, slightly rippled leaves in low light, in soft water or hard, without CO₂. Leaf size and texture vary noticeably from plant to plant — a quirk of the species, not a defect. These are young plants grown in a controlled laboratory environment.

I would buy again
Plant arrived quickly and in good condition… and with a nice healthy root system! So often, when I order plants online, I get a snip with no root so I really appreciated the quality of this item. So far the plant has remained healthy with no melt.

Great!
Made the trip in the mail with record heat in Colorado and was perfect! Planted it in my shrimp ecosystem 4 days ago and things are looking good
