Plant Sizes
Just wanted to give you a heads up that the image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.

Cryptocoryne lutea is a popular aquarium plant that is well known for its bright green leaves. It is a species of the Cryptocoryne genus and is native to the Indian subcontinent. This aquatic plant is known for its unique appearance and versatility in a variety of aquarium setups.
One of the most significant advantages of Cryptocoryne lutea is its hardiness. It is a hardy plant that is easy to care for, making it an ideal choice for beginners. It can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, from soft to hard water, and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. It also does well in low to medium lighting conditions, but high light levels can cause the leaves to turn brown.
Another benefit of Cryptocoryne lutea is its ability to grow quickly and spread, making it an excellent choice for foreground and midground planting. It has a bushy growth habit and can grow up to 10-15cm in height. The plant can also be propagated by division, which involves separating the rhizome into several portions and planting them separately.
Overall, Cryptocoryne lutea is an excellent choice for aquarium enthusiasts who want a hardy, versatile plant that can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits to their aquarium.
Understanding Crypt melt - all Cryptocoryne species require stable water parameter and light conditions. Once planted, Crypts should not be moved otherwise it can trigger what is called Crypt melt. If a Crypt has a significant change of environment (ph, kh , gh, lighting intensity or duration, root disturbance etc), Crypt melt can be triggered. The leaves start to disintegrate as the plant prepares for its new environment - DO NOT WORRY! Your plant will begin to grow back over the next 30 days (sometimes sooner, sometimes later) - it's still very much alive and busy getting ready for the growth of new leaves. In the meantime, any decaying leaves should be trimmed and recycled in a compost bin.
