Cryptocoryne bogneri 'Red'

Cryptocoryne bogneri 'Red' is a rare dwarf species from Sri Lanka, distinguished by its narrow, reddish-brown leaves and diminutive stature. It is among the smallest Cryptocoryne species in cultivation, rarely exceeding 8–10 cm in height, making it a prime candidate for nano aquariums. The red colouration deepens under moderate to bright lighting and with good iron supplementation. Like all Cryptocoryne, it establishes slowly but spreads steadily once acclimatised. It prefers slightly acidic, soft water conditions reflective of its native Sri Lankan highland streams. A patience-rewarding plant for the dedicated nano aquascaper.
