Cryptocoryne spiralis is a taller crypt plant compared to many other Cryptocoryne species such as C. wendtii or C. lutea. This plant has the ability to get quite large and may need to be trimmed back if used in a small aquarium. As the long, slender leaves develop, they will take on a crinkled texture which stands out beautifully in any aquarium. The color of the leaves on Cryptocoryne spiralis are a bright green but may take on a brownish tint once fully matured.
