Cryptocoryne Sri Lanka

Cryptocoryne Sri Lanka is a relatively new aquarium plant in the Cryptocoryne family that offers great coverage with an ornamental appearance in a planted aquarium tank. On the slightly medium side, Cryptocoryne Sri Lanka features long leaves that, with the correct care, will offer a deep green hue with a rich burgandy stalk. At this time, not too much is known about this specific Cryptocoryne species. In optimal conditions, Cryptocoryne Sri Lanka is a lovely aquarium plant and is a treat to view! Like most Cryptocoryne species, Cryptocoryne Sri Lanka does not prefer to be disturbed and care should be taken when deciding placement to ensure it is not moved in the foreseeable future as Crypt melt is a known phrase for good reason! Moderate, quality aquarium LED lighting is preferred along with CO2 injection and a nutrient-dense aquarium soil for good growth and the aquarium should be established if possible before adding Cryptocoryne Hudoroi as a newly set up tank can also lead to the melt of this aquarium plant. Propagation is simple and can be done by gently separating the mother plant into smaller portions and replanting into quality aquarium soil intended for aquatic plant propagation and growth.
