Cryptocoryne pontederifolia

Cryptocoryne pontederifolia develops broad, substantial green leaves with a gently textured surface and an attractive upright rosette growth habit. Its lush foliage brings fullness and structure to planted aquariums and looks especially good alongside wood, stone, and finer-leaved plants.

As it fills in, the plant forms a dense cluster of foliage that gives aquascapes a mature, natural appearance and provides a strong transition between lower plants and taller background growth.
