Cryptocoryne undulata Red is a great beginner plant that features long, wavy-edged leaves that are green and reddish-bronze in color. It has a similar appearance to C. wendtii 'Red,' as well as the same easy care requirements. Because this is a medium-sized crypt which grows relatively slowly, it serves as a great low maintenance midground plant. It will thrive under low to medium light and send out runners as it grows.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
I've always been a bit wary of crypts, but this one has converted me! It traveled beautifully, was easy to plant, and is thriving in my tank with sand and root tabs. Bonus: my fish love it. The honey gourami and corydora like to hide among the leaves, and the betta likes to use it as a backdrop to show off his fancy finnage.
This has been such a great experience that I ordered 7 more crypts for my betta coccina tank.
10/10 recommend!

Beautiful and thriving
Plant came in beautiful and healthy. Planted in my tank with tons of root tab on March 6 and as of today, March 17 … no melting. I have had several Cryptos, most melted within days, but came back strong. I have some that died within days, as well.
I hope (with fingers crossed) stays strong.

Beautiful Plant, Large Upon Arrival
I've had this planted for about a month now. It was large, well packed, and looked great upon arrival. Minimum 'crypting'. Love it!

Decent
I put it in my tank in the pot it came it. I’ve lost a few leaves, but it seems like maybe that has stopped and hopefully the plant will come back. It’s a beautiful plant. I am hoping it will live. I am using root tabs in my gravel.

Great looking plant
I ordered a couple different types of cryptocoryne on my last order and both came in with great looking roots and healthy leaves. It's been about two weeks now and I have not had ANY melting of plants. I'm very excited to watch these plants grow and fill in some empty tank spaces!

A total mixed bag
I ordered 15 plants for my tank, as well as some hardware. Half the plants, including crypts and anubias, totally died within a week of adding it to my tank. I planted the crypts with a root tab and wedged the anubias between two rocks. They didn't just melt, the roots total rotted away. The ferns and swords, however, are thriving. On top of that, the sponge filters are easy to set up and the test strips and root tabs are wonderful. Maybe I got a bad batch of plants, but I would recommend buying hardware from here and plants from a local shop
