Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Jwala' UNS Tissue Culture
Common Name: Water Trumpet
Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Jwala' is a striking cultivar of C. Spiralis. Characterized by narrow, slightly curled leaves, this Crypt is native to tropical regions of Asia. Like other Cryptocoryne, this aquarium plant grows in dense, rosette formations and is a great choice for adding color and texture to the midground area of a planted tank.
Its leaves are typically green, but can take on bronze to reddish tones when kept under higher light and a nutrient-rich aquarium. It grows slow to moderately and will do best in established tanks that are fully cycled and otherwise healthy. Give it moderate light, nutrient dense substrate and CO2 injection for best results. It is important to let Cryptocoryne plants become rooted before attempting to relocate or propagate. Doing this too early may result in Crypt melt!
Notes:
- Pruning will be required to ensure other plants are not shaded from lighting.
- Relatively hardy and adaptable to a range of aquarium parameters when established.
- Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
- Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
- Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted. If possible, do not move them!
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
