Crinum aquatica - AQ519

Crinum aquatica, commonly known as the Water Onion, is a striking and robust aquatic plant, valued for its long, ribbon-like leaves that can grow tall and flow gracefully in the water. This plant is best suited for larger aquariums where its size can be fully appreciated, making it ideal for midground or background placement. Crinum aquatica thrives in stable water conditions with moderate to bright lighting, and while it does not require CO2 supplementation, adding CO2 will promote faster growth and healthier leaves. The plant grows from a bulb and has strong roots, making it easy to anchor in the substrate, even in aquariums with higher water flow. Due to its slow to moderate growth, this plant does not require frequent trimming, but it does benefit from nutrient-rich substrates and occasional fertilization. Crinum aquatica is perfect for aquarists looking to add a unique, flowing plant to their aquascape that can create a dynamic, natural look.
