Cryptocoryne nurii

Cryptocoryne nurii comes from the rivers of Pahang, Malaysia, and is one of several heavily bullated Malaysian Crypts prized for their extraordinary leaf surface texture. Its broad, oval to lance-shaped leaves display a deeply pitted and blistered surface in dark olive-green to rich brown tones, creating an almost leathery appearance. It is moderately demanding, requiring stable conditions and nutrient-rich substrate, and is best appreciated as a midground specimen where its remarkable leaf texture can be fully admired.
