Cryptocoryne wendtii Red (Cryptocoryne wendtii)

Received two plants with healthy roots. Well packaged. Growing well in my tank. Love it. !

I ordered one of these for my 29g tank, along with 10 other plants, mostly crypts. They all arrived looking healthy and hardy. It might have just been bad luck but this is the only plant that didn't survive once planted. It melted back completely and I waited patiently for it to bounce back but only saw one or two tiny shoots come up. Finally I decided to plant something else there, but when I went to dig the hole in the subtrate I found a giant mass of rotting roots that released a bunch of hydrogen sulfide gas when it came up. Worst smell ever. I saved two tiny rhizomes with a tiny leaf attached and planted them elsewhere. Hopefully those survive.

I've had this plant since 2013 and it has been through some rough tank moves. It always seems to bounce back. It has thrived in low light/ low tech tanks and high tech tanks. It is a bit of a slow grower if it is inundated with algae.

I ordered two of these. They've only been in for two days and they are doing great! The plants arrived fine (2 day shipping), one was large and the other small. Both plants had great, strong root systems. On the second day since planting, both plants are putting out new leaves already! So far, I'm very pleased.

All my crypts are doing great ,no melt ,and large healthy plants .They really send a lot this time i have to throw some in the garbage because there were no space left in my substrate

The plant had to come through the Indiana winter in shipping, and despite of this it suffered only a little die off and already has new growth within the week.

I ordered two of these plants and both are already starting to get new leaves and I've only had them for four days! I'm very pleased with my purchase and am glad the plants are doing well.

I've had this plant about a year now. It arrived with 4 stems, so i was a little skeptical.....several months later i have baby plants coming out of my ears and those 4 leaves turned into about a million. Great, undemanding plants. Will do just fine without CO2, although the leaves def. get broader and a tad longer with co2.

received two of these in great shape beautiful plants. They look great in their new home

Very healthy looking plants, strong roots. Can't wait to see them grow larger.

I purchased two of these a couple weeks ago. They came in Great condition, and are growing very well. my current fish love to hide under the leaves. Very good purchase.

I completely agree that it is a nice plant for the price. It was a nice size on arrival, and has been healthy for the 2 weeks I have had it. Getting bigger already. I really like how the undersides of the leaves are reddish,and that there is a crinkly wavy look to the edge of the leaves. A plant with some character!
