Planting and Care:
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Pink' is typically planted directly into the substrate. Ensure the substrate is nutrient-rich to support healthy growth. Once established, it is generally low-maintenance. It may experience "Crypt melt" (sudden leaf die-off) when introduced to new tank conditions, but it usually recovers and sends out new growth. Avoid drastic changes in water parameters to minimize the risk of melt.
