Cryptocoryne wendtii ''green'' is suitable for small aquariums. When
grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom. Like most
other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard water. Like many other
plants, it can be affected by cryptocoryne disease. One way to prevent this is
by only leaving the 4-5 newest leaves on the plant when planting. It is a good
foreground plant, even in small aquariums. See other Cryptocorynes for further
information.
