Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia - AQ091

Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia is a striking aquatic plant known for its broad, paddle-shaped leaves that add a lush and tropical look to any aquarium. Its vibrant green leaves with occasional hints of bronze make it an excellent choice for midground placement, where it can create a dense, bushy appearance. Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia is hardy and adaptable, making it a great option for beginner aquarists. It thrives in a variety of water conditions and tolerates lower light levels, but it will grow more robustly and develop richer colors under moderate lighting and with CO2 supplementation. Like other Cryptocoryne species, it may experience a temporary "melt" phase when introduced to new environments, but it will recover and grow back stronger. With its slow to moderate growth, this plant requires minimal maintenance, making it an easy yet beautiful addition to any aquascape.
