Cryptocoryne wendtii Brown - Brown cryptocoryne
Cryptocoryne wendtii Braun Cryptocoryne wendtii Brown (formerly Cryptocoryne wendtii Tropica) max. growth height - cm Country of origin Sri Lanka Suitability Community aquarium, NanoCubes and aquascaping Type Rosette plant family  Araceae Genus  Cryprocoryne Propagation  Stolons Growth rate  medium pH 5-8 Water hardness very soft to very hard Notes   The brown colour variant of Cryptocoryne wendtii is also very popular and can be used in many planted landscapes. Its leaf edges are slightly wavy; in some cases, the leaves are also bullous in shape. The leaf colour is green to brown, sometimes with brown streaking. With good lighting, its leaves become deep dark brown. In combination with other green cryptocorynes, this creates a very striking contrast. Like almost all Cryptocorynes from Sri Lanka, it grows well in harder water and is therefore ideally suited for cichlid aquaria.
