IMPORTANT: Our bunched and potted aquarium plants may vary in growth forms. Because of this, please understand how to properly transition and acclimate plant(s) into desired form(s). We do our best to thoroughly clean and inspect all plants prior to shipment but cannot guarantee lead bunch or potted plants to be free from snails and/or algae. Not your thing? Please consider purchasing tissue culture aquarium plants!
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 Nevillii is a classic aquarium plant in the Cryptocoryne family that has been commonly mistaken for Cryptocoryne Willisii variant. In addition, to add to the confusion, earlier discovery of this particular plant led to the original Willisii plant to be also identified as Nevilli. However, Cryptocoryne Nevilli is a completely different Crypt altogether. On the smaller side, Cryptocoryne Nevillii grows slightly faster and larger than the smaller Parva variant and features longer leaves that, with the correct care, will offer a green hue with a brown undertone. While Cryptocoryne Willisii looks similar to Lucens, true Nevillii foliage stays shorter and will grow ovulate leaves that will fan out more like Parva!
Like most Cryptocoryne species, Cryptocoryne Nevillii does not prefer to be disturbed and care should be taken when deciding placement to ensure it is not moved in the foreseeable future as Crypt melt is a known phrase for good reason! Moderate, quality aquarium LED lighting is preferred along with CO2 injection and a nutrient-dense aquarium soil for good growth and the aquarium should be established if possible before adding Cryptocoryne Usteriana as a newly set up tank can also lead to the melt of this aquarium plant. Propagation is simple and can be done by gently separating and replanting new growth into quality aquarium soil intended for aquatic plant propagation and growth.
