- Easy to grow
- Low light
- Medium size
Cryptocoryne lutea is a medium-sized crypt with long stems and pointed, green leaves. It grows more upright than many other crypts and can reach 6-8 inches in height, making it a good midground plant in aquariums. This slow-growing species does well in low light and can produce runners that form new plants.

Amazed at how big and healthy they were when I opened them! Nice and healthy!
It’s only been 2 weeks since I’ve had this and haven’t seen much progress yet , still to early to do this review in my honest opinion
Came in nice
I received a Crypto Lutea plant that was among other plants in a Surprise Pack. It came in well packed and is so very healthy.
I pumped my gravel substrate with Root Tabs and planted it in my 5gallon. It looked beautiful. Unfortunately, Cryptos, as they are known to do, melted down within a couple of days. I retrieved the dead leaves and pumped the substrate with a couple of Root Tabs. It took about a week, I now can see tiny green life. Once this tank is “established” and my Crypto plants come out of plant shock, they will make a great home for a new little Betta.
Great plant. Great packing and quick delivery. Aquarium Co-Op is the best.
Plants arrived healthy and vibrant. Packaging was exceptional. Delivery was slow but that was on the carrier, not Aquarium Co-Op. I can’t seem to keep these in the gravel…again a me issue not a plant issue. Overall, the plants arrived in great condition and I was very happy. Will continue to order from this store.
The plant shipped quickly and arrived in the insulated liner. The leaves and roots came in very healthy. I put a root tab into the rock wool, planted it with the pot, and it’s been doing well! The new plant is the one that’s lighter green in the front. The others are crypt luteas and wentii green from the co-op that are about a year old. I’m very happy with all the plants from the co-op!
Great plant!
I ordered this plant along with 5-6 others! The plant was at least 7inches tall already. I was even able to make more plants from just the one I ordered due to the amazing roots and multiple leaves. Did even get any melting!
Without the root tab it's doing well, but I will add the root tab today when I get my Aquarium Co-op order. All my plants are doing well!
All the plants I ordered, including this crypto, came in fantastic shape. They were packaged with care and arrived quicker. It did have a bit of a struggle at first, but it recouped only a couple days into the new tank. Very happy with the purchase!
