Cryptocoryne wendtii
Also known as: Green Wendtii TC, Wendtii Green In-Vitro
Origin: Sri Lanka (TC cultivar)
This tissue culture presentation of Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' delivers the same unbeatable beginner-friendly performance of the classic Sri Lankan Crypt in a sterile, contaminant-free format. TC cups allow aquarists to introduce this plant into shrimp tanks and sensitive setups without risking the introduction of snails, algae, or parasites that can be hidden in conventional pot-grown specimens. Young TC plantlets establish quickly and begin producing the characteristic olive-green, corrugated leaves within a few weeks of planting.
Light: Low to medium; one of the best plants for low-light aquariums. CO2: Not required; suitable for fully uninjected, low-tech setups. Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs; grows in virtually any substrate type. Planting: Rinse TC gel; expose crown; plant in groups of 5+ spaced 8–10 cm apart. Growth: Slow; very stable once established — spreads via runners to fill the midground.
