Cryptocoryne cilliata – loose

Description

Cryptocoryne cilliata is an elegant and unique freshwater aquatic plant that stands out for its narrow, finely serrated leaves that create a delicate, feathery appearance. The plant’s leaves can range from deep green to reddish-brown under optimal lighting, adding vibrant colors and texture to your aquarium. Cryptocoryne cilliata is best suited for midground or background placements, where its upright growth habit and graceful foliage can serve as a beautiful contrast to other plants and hardscape elements.

Thriving in low to moderate lighting, Cryptocoryne cilliata is a hardy and adaptable plant that does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it easy to care for and perfect for aquarists of all skill levels. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from regular water changes to ensure continued health. As with other Cryptocoryne species, Cryptocoryne cilliata may undergo some initial “crypt melt” when introduced to a new tank, but it will bounce back and establish itself over time.

In addition to its striking appearance, Cryptocoryne cilliata helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, making it a great choice for promoting a healthy and balanced aquarium ecosystem. With its attractive foliage and minimal care requirements, Cryptocoryne cilliata is a great addition to any freshwater tank.
