Cryptocoryne axelrodi is a less common Cryptocoryne species with narrow leaves, a hardy nature, and a greenish-brown colour. It works well for mid-ground plant coverage in planted tanks and is simple to maintain. However, unlike most crypts, we recommend that it not be moved as this may cause Crypt melt. Cryptocoryne Axelrodi, like other crypts, is ideal for beginning hobbyists due to its ease of care and low maintenance requirements. When grown in a good aquarium substrate, such as Ultum Nature System Controsoil, the plant can feed through its roots and grow quickly without the need for high light, CO2, or fertiliser dosing. The addition of CO2 and good lighting, on the other hand, will result in healthier, more robust growth. Crypts can grow either emersed or submerged. Split the rhizome or cut off new growth and replant to propagate.

Cryptocoryne Axelrodi is a lovely Cryptocoryne species with narrow leaves that are a rich greenish-brown hue in coloration. Cryptocoryne Axelrodi, a heavy root feeding genus with growth dependent on environmental factors, is a good choice for mid ground coverage in an aquascape layout that uses a nutrient-dense aqua soil. Its narrow leaves, pointed tips, and varying colour tones provide a nice contrast against other aquarium plants as well as texture. The environment in which it is kept determines its final size, shape, and colour. Cryptocoryne Axelrodi may grow flatter with a wider spread when exposed to strong lighting and CO2. Cryptocoryne species are fairly hardy once adapted to the aquarium, but they do not like being moved around, so once a location is chosen, care should be taken not to disturb the plant, and parameters within the aquarium tank should not fluctuate too quickly as this may encourage rot. Splitting the rhizome or cutting off new growth and replanting are both methods of propagation.
Cryptocoryne Axelrodi is a slow growing plant that is relatively easy to care for. This is a narrow leaf crypt that is resistant to almost all types of water and is greenish brown in colour. A tried-and-true, low-maintenance Cryptocoryne from Sri Lanka, closely related to Cryptocoryne wendtii and C. beckettii. Cryptocoryne undulata, also known as Cryptocoryne axelrodii, has narrowly lanceolate submerged leaves with undulate margins and a green to dark brown coloration, which is often patterned with a dark marbled pattern. The rhizome of an old submerged plant may grow vertically out of the substrate, resembling a small tree trunk with stilt roots. The Undulate Crypt can still grow in low light and without fertiliser, but it thrives in medium lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate. This plant, like many other Cryptocoryne species, spreads by underground runners. Cryptocoryne undulata is a versatile aquarium plant that looks best in the midground, but can also be used in the foreground in larger tanks. It grows into long stands over time, and its narrow, dark foliage makes it ideal for aquascapes in the nature aquarium style.
How tall can Cryptocoryne get?
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ has lovely green leaves. Wendtii ‘Green’ can grow to a height of 10-30 cm and have rosets that are 8-15 cm wide, depending on your aquarium setup. When grown in the open, the leaves will almost always be on the bottom.
Is it simple to grow Cryptocoryne?
There isn’t much else to do once you’ve planted your new Cryptocoryne; they’re very simple plants! They don’t require extra CO2 or a lot of fertiliser to thrive, just a little patience—they grow slowly, especially right after planting.
Is light required for Cryptocoryne?
Cryptocoryne wendtii can tolerate both low and high light levels, and appears to respond to lower light levels with longer foliage. While it responds to CO2 injection, it can also grow without it.

Living plants, like fish, thrive in aquariums designed specifically for their needs. Choosing live plants that thrive in similar water conditions will reduce problems and make it easier for you to maintain and care for your aquarium. We want your plant to thrive and become a favourite in your aquarium. Do your homework before buying, and make sure to select plants that are appropriate for your aquarium to get the most out of your new addition.
