Cryptocoryne Lutea — Compact Olive-Green Foreground Carpet
Cryptocoryne Lutea is a compact, low-growing crypt that forms dense rosettes of olive-green leaves. Left undisturbed it will slowly spread into an attractive low foreground carpet, making it a great alternative to more demanding carpeting plants for low-tech tanks.
Supplied as a healthy young plant in a 5cm pot.

Ideal Habitat and Care
Undemanding and well suited to low-tech tanks without CO2. As with other Cryptocoryne species, expect some "crypt melt" after transplanting — new leaves will return within a few weeks.

Spreads via runners from the rhizome, gradually filling out into a carpet. Separate plantlets once rooted.
Compatibility
Safe with all community fish, shrimp, and snails.
