Cryptocoryne Wendtii Brown

🌿 Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ – Hardy Midground Aquarium Plant (Live Aquatic Plant Australia)

Description:
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ is a classic, reliable aquarium plant prized for its rich bronze-to-chocolate brown tones and broad, textured leaves. Unlike bright green plants, its darker colour adds depth and contrast to aquascapes, making it a favourite for natural layouts, jungle tanks, and shrimp aquariums.

This species is extremely adaptable and beginner-friendly, thriving in a wide range of water conditions with minimal maintenance. Once established, it forms a dense, attractive clump that works perfectly as a midground plant or transition between foreground carpets and taller background species.

If you’re looking for a plant that looks established, natural, and timeless — without demanding CO₂ or intense lighting — Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ is an excellent choice.
