Listing is for 1 small plant (comes from in vitro). Cryptocoryne Albida 'Red' is a compact and colourful aquarium plant, admired for its slender, slightly twisted leaves that range in shades of bronze, reddish-brown, and olive green depending on lighting and water conditions. Its low, bushy growth makes it perfect for foreground and midground placement, particularly in nature-style or low-tech tanks where subtle colour and texture are key design elements. This Crypt species thrives in low to moderate lighting and does not require CO₂, though additional nutrients and stable conditions will support more vibrant colouration and stronger growth. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from root tab fertilisation. Like most Cryptocorynes, it may experience crypt melt when newly introduced or disturbed but will recover reliably and flourish when left undisturbed. Cryptocoryne Albida Red is hardy, slow-growing, and beginner-friendly, making it ideal for aquarists of all experience levels. It also improves aquarium health by absorbing nutrients, helping to control algae, and providing cover for shrimp and small fish.
