Description

Cryptocoryne undulata 'Broad Leaves' is a wide-leaved form of the popular undulata Cryptocoryne, producing attractive wavy, broad leaves in a deep green to olive-brown tone. The broader leaf shape gives it more visual weight than the narrow-leaved undulata forms and makes it a good midground specimen that draws the eye across a layout.

Low light, no CO2, planted in substrate. Root tabs support good establishment. Like all Crypts, temporary leaf melt can follow being moved — leave the rhizome in the substrate and it will regrow. Once settled it is reliable and spreads via runners.

Plant roots in the substrate without burying the crown. Midground positioning works well in most aquariums.

Product FAQs

Helpful details before you buy.

What is 'crypt melt'?

When moved, Cryptocoryne sometimes dissolve their leaves. This is normal. Leave the rhizome in the substrate and new leaves will regrow.

How does Broad Leaves differ from standard undulata?

Broader leaves with more visual weight. The wider leaf form creates a more substantial midground presence than the narrow-leaved undulata forms.

Does it need CO2?

No — grows without CO2. Root tabs or a nutrient-rich substrate are more beneficial.

What size does it reach?

Typically 15–25cm — midground positioning in most aquariums.

How do I plant it?

Plant roots in the substrate without burying the crown. It spreads via runners over time.
