Some personal experience: my crypts are planted in a sandy substrate. No artificial light, no added co2, no nutrients (aside from natural debris). They stay alive and healthy, they just don't really grow larger than they are. I don't really mind cause I have no maintenance to do on them whatsoever, and my tank is more about the fish than plants anyway. So you CAN have them under pretty barren circumstances, but if you really want them to florish you'll definitely need to use nutrients and/or co2. Hope this helps someone :)
***** And be advised that their root system spreads throughout your entire tank, so they're not plants that are easily (re)moved once planted. I've seen offshoots sprout out on the other side of my tank.
hey how do you keep your sand clean and nutrient supplemented for plant growth? i'm currently having issues with Blue-green algae on the surface of the sand and i'm using flourish tabs to help supply the plants with sufficient nutrients
Hi! Very good and useful tips! But I got a question ... I bought "green" mixed cryptocoryne plants and after a few months they like tra stormed and turned out to be more brown-ish colour and those leaves got shorter. I don't know what to do...? Please help ;) 1:05 (they looked like that in the beginning) and 0:28 like this at the end
A great easy to keep plant. I've had great success with c.wendtii in both Eco-complete and dirt substrate with and without co2 injection. To me it looks very prehistoric, like a mini version of plants that would've been around when the dinosaurs were alive.
Absolutly. They carpet very well. They'll quickly grow into a little patch in your tank and a over time the rest of your substrate will be covered. Thanks for watching! :)
Yes. I will have more Tropica stuff on the website around the month of May. Sign up for our newsletter on the "contact us" page to stay updated on our website. Thanks for watching my friend! :)
Undoubtedly my most favourite plant ever requiring very little maintenance. I have wendtii green, brown and beckettii in my two tanks. Perfect for discus tanks due to their ability to stand high temps, low maintenance and nutrients loving roots breaking down the waste. Great video bro... please check my two tanks. Your opinion would be much appreciated.
TheEmbors Any and all plants will benefit someway in a high nutrient environment. It doesn't mean you HAVE to dose them. Some plants like Crypt Wen. Brown will grow fine without nutrient dosing.
Interesting... Thanks for replying to me! BTW, as someone who spends hours looking for online plant suppliers, You're company is awesome. The website looks fantastic, and the prices are really unbeatable. I will be shopping with you soon! One thing though, I wish you had a more in-depth description on your plants on the website. I had to do more research on google about plants because your website did not have the details I needed. Keep up the good work Jacob!

the funny thing is I'm researching the hell out of aquascaping but i barely do any research for my final year project..
Red tiger lotus surrounded by crypts looks fantastic. The varieties you mentioned are perfect
for the planted aquarium.
Your Italian intro threw me off for a second XD

Yeeeessss !! You did it jacooob !! The italian intro was so good ! Nice job bro !!

One quick question do we have to introduce this plants directly in substrate or have to tie on rock or on wood..?? Thanks in advance
Can you grow them in pots? I change my scape alot so im wondering if i can pot them?
Is it okay for it to be in a tank with no substrate at all?

Do I have to have substrate to plant this plant cuz I have sand
How to propagate? Plant ?
Will they do good in rocky substrate
thank you I will be ordering some from you
Man, the planted tank hobby is addictive...
Can they grow in 30 temprature? Thanks

I agree! Thanks for watching my friend! :)
Can they be used to carpet a large space and to fill up large gaps within my jungle val and amazon swords ?
Absolutly. They carpet very well. They'll quickly grow into a little patch in your tank and a over time the rest of your substrate will be covered. Thanks for watching! :)
Are you going to get anymore tropica plants?

Great plant species Jacob:)
Thanks for watching my friend :)
What crypt would you recommend for mid-ground behind a carpet of Dwaft Sag?(low-tech tank)
TheEmbors Crypt Wendtii Green or Brown would be perfect for you. I recommend those. Thanks for watching :)
Wendtii Brown wouldn't need Co2 or Ferts? I dose Flourish but that's it. I thought I would need to dose Iron for Wendtii Brown?
