Cryptocoryne wendtii is one of the most common plants within the aquarium trade. It quickly became quite popular due to its hardiness, ease of care, and low light requirements. This medium-sized crypt has ruffled, pointed leaves that are bronze to red in color. C. wendtii will reach a height of around 8 inches, making it an excellent midground plant in your aquarium.
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.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
Came in strong. Haven't had any melt! They've been growing in the pots and are really bushy now. Soon, I'll be splitting up the pots and I'll have crypts all over! Very happy.

Love it!
I like to post my reviews a few months after planting to give the plant time to adapt and establish so that folks can see what these plants will look like later on.
I love crypts.. cant get enough of them. They are my favorite aquatic plants, and they always look amazing to my eye. I have this red crypt planted right next to a green one, so I think its a great comparison shot. I love some reds mixed in with the greens to just add a bit more color variety in the tank.

Good so far
Carpeting plants don't survive in my tank. I have two green crypts that have survived and are doing very well. Although not a carpeting plant they do fill out nicely and cover a good portion of substrate. Wanted to try a bit of color so I ordered the red. So far it's doing well. I can't wait till it grows out.
