Cryptocoryne lutea - AQ442

Cryptocoryne lutea is a popular and hardy aquatic plant known for its elongated, lance-shaped leaves that range in color from bright green to reddish-brown. It is perfect for midground placement in aquariums, where its dense, bushy growth adds depth and color to the aquascape. Cryptocoryne lutea is highly adaptable to different water conditions and is easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners. It can tolerate lower light levels but will grow more vibrantly and develop richer colors under moderate lighting conditions. Although CO2 supplementation is not required, it can enhance the plant's growth and overall health. Like many Cryptocoryne species, Cryptocoryne lutea may experience "melt" when introduced to new environments, but it will recover and grow back stronger. Its slow to moderate growth rate means it requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums.
