Cryptocoryne Spiralis Red is a unique aquarium plant that is suitable for the midground area of a planted aquarium. This Crypt variety is characterized by long, thin leaves that display an interesting pattern and are reddish brown in color. Cryptocoryne Spiralis Red is a medium to large sized specimen, making it a fantastic choice for transitioning the midground to the background area of the planted tank. Like other Cryptocoryne plants, Crypt Spiralis Red is relatively easy-going, but needs to become established first.
We recommend planting this species in an aquarium that is already established as newly setup aquariums may contribute to chances of Crypt melt. Once this aquarium plant grows a solid root system, it is sure to standout in the aquascape layout! To support quicker and healthy growth, we recommend CO2 injection and a nutrient-dense aquarium soil. Moderate lighting along with nutrient dosing and good maintenance habits will go a long way!

About Our Live Aquatic Plants
Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.
From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.
We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.
Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

About Our Tissue Culture Plants
Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile, laboratory conditions, ensuring they are free from pests, algae, and snails. These young plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich gel and are grown in emersed form before being introduced into the aquarium.
Tissue culture plants are best for aquascapers looking for clean, controlled plant material, especially for shrimp tanks or sensitive setups. Before planting, the gel media should be gently removed, and the plant can be divided into smaller portions for planting.
With proper care, tissue culture plants transition quickly and establish into healthy submerged growth.
