Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ is a classic variety known for its rich brown to bronze leaves with subtle green undertones. It adapts well to emersed growth, making it suitable for high-humidity terrariums and paludariums.

Terrarium (Emersed) Care

• Substrate: Aqua soil is recommended. Cryptocorynes are heavy root feeders and grow best in nutrient-rich aqua soil rather than standard terrarium substrates.

• Humidity: 70–90%, ideal for closed or semi-closed terrariums

• Light: Low to medium indirect light

• Water: Keep the substrate consistently moist

• Temperature: 22–28°C

Initial leaf melt after planting is normal; new emersed leaves will appear once the plant establishes.
