| From Tropica: |
There is some confusion about the name of this plant.
It used (mistakenly) to be called Cryptocoryne nevillii, but this
is the name of a species that has never been used in aquariums.
Like many other Cryptocorynes, not much happens the first month
after planting. But then it starts to grow, and willingly produces
plenty of runners which form a compact group. |
