Care and Maintenance

Cryptocoryne Wendtii Affinis Red, like other Cryptocoryne species, is sensitive to environmental changes such as water quality, lighting, fertilizer, and temperature.

Once acclimated, it will reward you with healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

• CO2: Not required but can enhance growth.
• Fertilization: Regular dosing with liquid fertilizers supports healthy development.
