Cryptocoryne Flamingo

This unusual and attractive cultivar is called 'Flamingo'. Its most noticeable feature is the pale to dark pink coloration of the leaves. This variety was grown by chance in one of the Dennerle greenhouses. 'Flamingo' is cultivated only through meristem propagation in the lab, and is sold in a plastic culture cup. It grows extremely slowly in freshwater aquariums and requires strong illumination to ensure successful development. This unique plant makes a wonderful focal point for an aquascape, and looks great when combined with mosses or Hemianthus.

Another advantage to the culture cups is that they include many small plantlets that can be divided out and spread throughout your aquascape, so you get great value for the price.

Note: No international shipping available for this item.

Red varieties tend to die back when planted in an aquarium, but will recover in a week or two with good lighting and CO2 dosing.
