Thanks to its red-brown leaves, Cryptocoryne beckettii has been a
highly valued aquarium plant for more than 60 years. Unlike other coloured
aquatic plants, coloured Cryptocorynes do not require a lot of light. A
nutritious bottom promotes growth. This is a plant that is suitable for the hard
water found in many European aquariums. See other Cryptocorynes for further
information.
