About This Plant

This attractive variation of Cryptocoryne nurii was found growing wild in Malaysia around 1970. In the aquarium hobby it became popular under the name 'Rose Maiden'. It is as easy to grow as Cryptocoryne wendtii and has the same size and leaf shape, so it is a natural companion to that plant in the same layout.

Key Benefits

• Easy to grow, with the same ease of care as Cryptocoryne wendtii
• Medium growth rate
• Produces runners under the bottom layer, often well away from the mother plant, so it spreads naturally given time
• Leaf colour and patterning can develop more intensely with good light and nutrition
• Supplied as tissue culture in a closed cup

Care Notes

The intensity of colour and pattern in the leaves depends on light and nutrition, so the plant's appearance will vary with how your tank is set up. Runners travel beneath the substrate and may appear quite far from the original plant, so allow space around it.
