Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Pink’ – Care & Tips for a Healthy, Vibrant Plant
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Pink’ isn’t just beautiful—it’s wonderfully forgiving, making it a favorite among beginners and seasoned aquascapers alike. With the right touch of care, its leaves can reveal rosy hues that elevate any aquascape.
🌿 Basic Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Moderate to high lighting encourages pink and coppery tones; low light keeps it more bronze or green. Aim for around 0.5–1 watt per liter of full-spectrum lighting.
- Substrate: Prefers nutrient-rich substrates. Adding iron supplements or root tabs enhances leaf coloration dramatically.
- CO₂: Optional but beneficial. CO₂ supplementation can accelerate growth and deepen coloration.
- Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
- pH: 6.0–7.5
- Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water is ideal
- Growth Habit: Slowly acclimates to new settings—expect some initial melting, but don’t panic! Once settled, it will sprout new leaves steadily.
🔧 Tips for Thriving Pink Rosettes:
- Melting Phase: Post-planting melt is common. Remove decaying leaves and let it regenerate—roots remain alive underground.
- Spacing: Give each plant a bit of room (around 5–7 cm apart) to form rosettes without overcrowding.
- Fertilization: Weekly root tabs and liquid ferts every 7–10 days help maintain vibrant growth.
- Tank Mates: Safe with shrimp, snails, and most peaceful community fish. Avoid digging species like goldfish or large cichlids.
💖 Pro Styling Advice:
- Use it as a midground accent in minimalist layouts or Dutch-style tanks.
- Pair with Bucephalandra ‘Red Mini’ or Hygrophila pinnatifida for color harmony.
- Let it catch indirect light from open swimming spaces for a soft gradient effect.
