Picture of my Cryptocoryne

[Quixotic]

There are actually many cultivars of C. wendtii, including "Tropica", "Brown", "Green Gecko", "Mi Oya".

There is also what appears to be C. wendtii var. jahnelii and C. wendtii var. krauteri (possibly many more). I am not sure if these are cultivars, or just locality variants as there isn't much information, and if they are available here (not that I know of).

Yup i've gotten the "Green Gecko" and "Mi Oya" from the mentioned LFSes too. I especially like the "Green Gecko".

Hi all, i planted both wendtii and willisii with very little roots or even none on some. However all survived. The roots grew long fast when i pulled up some to relocate.

Here is a group of my Crypt wendtii green from my sunken garden pond.
Planted for less than 2 months and growing. Most are transplanted as submersed form while others were bought as emmersed crypts. No mass melting and they are growing just great on fertile substrate of plain quartz gravel with some Wonder-Gro Root+ and W-G trial base fert.



This type of crypt can reach 30cm in height over time with no problem.
