Cryptocoryne Becketii
Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Cryptocoryne Becketii is a popular Crypt plant that makes a beautiful mid-ground accent or centerpiece. It is characterized by reddish, ruffle-textured, oblong leaves and it offers great contrast to green plants that are also present in any aquascape. Although it is easier to grow submerged, it will also grow emersed and can produce flowers above the water. Low to moderate lighting is sufficient and CO2 isn't required, but aids in speeding up the plant's growth.
Cryptocoryne Becketii propagates through runners that can be cut and replanted into the substrate if desired. For good coverage, plant individual stems about one inch apart.
