Great for foreground and midground
Most Cryptocoryne for planted tanks work well in the foreground to midground, depending on the species and tank size. -

Many low light Cryptocoryne do well in modest lighting and don’t require CO₂ injection to survive, though they will grow better with good nutrients.
Basic Care for Cryptocoryne Aquarium Plants
-
Planting:
Plant Assorted Cryptocoryne in the substrate, covering the roots but keeping the crown (where leaves meet roots) just above the substrate to avoid rot. -
Lighting:
Low to medium light is usually ideal. Crypts can adapt to stronger light if introduced gradually and given good nutrition. -
Water conditions (general guide):
- Temperature: around 22–28°C
- pH: roughly 6.0–7.5
- Soft to medium hardness is generally preferred, but many Cryptocoryne are quite adaptable.
-
Nutrients:
As root feeding aquarium plants, Cryptocoryne appreciate a nutrient‑rich substrate or root tabs, along with regular water column fertilisation.
Crypt Melt & Adaptation
When first introduced, Cryptocoryne aquarium plants may experience “crypt melt”, where older leaves die back as the plant adjusts to new water conditions. This is normal. Simply remove the melted leaves and allow the plant time to regrow new leaves adapted to your aquarium.
