Notas de cuidados

Cryptocoryne crispatula requires moderate to high light to maintain its wavy form. CO2 supplementation is beneficial. Parameters: temperature 22-28°C, pH 6-7.5, GH 3-10. A nutrient-rich substrate is important. It tolerates a wide range of conditions but prefers soft to moderately hard water. It propagates via stolons. Watch for melting during changes. Suitable for aquariums over 100 liters.
