Description:
Cryptocoryne spiralis is a versatile aquatic plant native to India, China, and Thailand, known for its long, reed-like leaves that can exhibit a corkscrew shape. It is one of the earliest cultivated aquarium plants and is popular among aquarists for its hardy nature and ability to thrive in both soft and hard water conditions. The plant's color can vary from green to red, pink, bronze, and brown, with high light enhancing its hues. It stores nutrients in an underground rhizome and can become dormant during dry seasons. Suitable for mid- or background placement in aquariums, it does not require CO2 and grows slowly, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists. A nutrient-rich substrate and medium to high lighting are recommended for optimal growth.
