Descripción
This crypt is remarkable for its textured foliage: leaves have bumps (bullae) between the veins, giving a quilted appearance. Dark green to reddish-brown, it stays modest in size (10-15 cm). Growth is slow and it prefers soft, acidic water. It is more demanding than other crypts and can be sensitive to changes.
