Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Pink’

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Pink' is a stunning and highly sought-after cultivar of Cryptocoryne, admired for its unique pinkish coloration and adaptable nature. This plant produces broad, lance-shaped leaves that range from green to soft pink and reddish tones, with the intensity of color increasing under higher lighting conditions.

Growing in a compact rosette form from a creeping rhizome, it typically reaches a height of 15–20 cm (6–8 inches), making it ideal for midground placement or even foreground use in larger aquariums. Its manageable size and moderate growth rate make it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers.

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Pink' thrives in a wide range of water conditions and does well in low to medium lighting, though enhanced lighting can bring out its signature pink hues. Like other Cryptocoryne species, it may experience initial “crypt melt” when introduced to a new tank but typically recovers and adapts well over time.

Perfect for Nature Aquariums, biotope setups, and Dutch-style layouts, this plant adds a vibrant splash of color and contrasts beautifully with green, red, or yellow aquatic plants. Its hardy nature, combined with its eye-catching appearance, makes it an excellent choice for creating visually dynamic and balanced aquascapes.
