The Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Flamingo' is a special Cryptocoryne cultivar with light to dark pink leaves. It is propagated exclusively in tissue culture. This striking crypt grows very slowly and needs to be well lit. It is very decorative in the foreground and center of small aquariums and provides an effective contrast with green plants.
The leaf coloring is variable. The leaves of emerged potted plants are usually quite green, but the plant will develop pink dipped leaves after planting in the aquarium.
