Cryptocoryne

Cryptocoryne (also called water lilies) are among the most popular aquarium plants. They are robust, easy to care for, and grow reliably even under simple conditions—ideal for beginners and professionals alike.

The plants of this genus originate from Asia and impress with a wide variety of colors , leaf shapes , and growth heights . Whether classic green, reddish, or even patterned – Cryptocorynes bring natural beauty to your aquarium.

They are particularly effective in the mid- and background areas. Over time, they form dense clumps, thus contributing to a stable biological balance in the tank.

✅ Benefits of Cryptocoryne:

  • Very easy to care for & robust
  • Copes well with low light
  • Wide variety of types for every layout style
  • Grows slowly & bushily – ideal against algae
  • Suitable for community and shrimp aquariums

💡 Tip: Cryptocorynes don't like relocation – give them some time to settle in. After that, they'll grow reliably and stably.
