Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Green Gecko’ is a unique twist on the classic green Wendtii Crypt. It’s a hardy plant that grows slowly to moderately and does well both fully submerged and emersed. Like most Crypts, it’s a low-maintenance choice for planted tanks.
Propagation is simple—just trim off the baby plants that grow from the base of the main plant (rhizome).
Good to Know:
Tissue culture versions come from clean, high-tech labs and are 100% pest-free—perfect for avoiding algae, snails, or hitchhikers.
Be sure to rinse off all the gel before planting. You can either soak it or gently rub it off with your fingers.
Crypts don't like being moved once they’re planted—they’ll melt back if stressed, so pick your spot and stick with it!
Avoid sudden changes in your tank's parameters—stable conditions are key to keeping this plant healthy.
While CO₂ isn’t required, using it along with quality aquarium soil can really boost growth.
