Cryptocoryne tonkinensis – Tissue Culture

Cryptocoryne tonkinensis is a rare, grass-like crypt species that brings fine texture and a unique look to planted aquariums. Its narrow, strap-shaped green leaves create a flowing effect, making it ideal for midground placement or as a transitional plant between foreground and taller background species.

This plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions as a tissue culture, ensuring it arrives completely free from pests, algae, and contaminants. Its slow growth and distinctive appearance make it a favorite among collectors and aquascapers seeking a more refined, natural layout.
