Cryptocoryne_Nevillii

Description

Hardy fast growing species
Striking plant with medium green coloured leaves

Family: Araceae

Scientific name: Cryptoc?ryne nevillii

Also known as: Cryptocoryne x willisi, which for many years was incorrectly cultivated under the name of Cryptoc?ryne nevillii. The genuine C. nevillii is not suitable for aquarium use (C kasselmann)

Type: Ideally suited for mid ground

Origins: Central Sri Lanka

Ecology: Grows in banks of streams and rivers both in an emersed as well as submersed condition. Many times it?s found growing with Cryptocoryne parva. But unlike C. Parva, this species of Cruptocoryne is considerable fast growing (C kasselmann).

Growth: Fast

Height: approx. 5 – 15 cm

Light: Medium

Like other Cryptocoryne species, this too is an undemanding aquarium plant which can grow under a variety of conditions but definitely does best in a nutrient rich substrate.
