Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Petchii’ is a compact and highly adaptable Cryptocoryne variety known for its narrow, slightly textured leaves that range from olive green to bronze tones under aquarium lighting. Its manageable size and tolerance for a wide range of conditions make it a dependable choice for foreground to midground placement in planted aquariums.
This plant is offered in tissue culture format, ensuring it arrives free of algae, snails, and pests. Tissue culture Cryptocorynes are ideal for clean starts, especially in shrimp tanks or carefully planned Aquascapes.

Acclimation Note: Cryptocorynes may experience leaf melt when introduced to a new aquarium. This is normal. As long as the root system remains healthy, new leaves will emerge once the plant adapts to its environment.
