Brown Wendtii

Brown Wendtii is the brown-leaved form of Cryptocoryne wendtii, a rosette plant that Flowgrow indexes under its cultivar name Cryptocoryne wendtii 'braun'. It is a common plant in the planted tank: easy to grow and content with the low to medium light found in most aquariums. Flowgrow rates it easy and lists midground and foreground placement, with a growth speed of medium.

Its natural range is Sri Lanka. The published optimum temperature is 22 to 26 °C with a pH of 5 to 8, and the plant tolerates a wider span around those figures. It does not need injected carbon dioxide. Established plants spread by runners, by division of the rhizome, and by splitting, and daughter plants can be cut off and replanted once they have rooted.

Flowgrow lists this form's description as a placeholder, so the figures above come from the plant's data sheet rather than a written profile. Flowgrow publishes no height for this form; the 15 cm catalog value reflects its low rosette habit.
