Water Conditions: Best in a pH range of 6.0–7.5 with soft to moderately hard water.
Planting & Growth: Grows best in a nutrient-rich substrate. Avoid sudden parameter changes, as Cryptocorynes can experience "Crypt melt" before regrowing.
Maintenance: Minimal pruning required; allow time for it to establish and adapt to its environment.

Cryptocoryne Pink Flamingo is a rare and highly sought-after plant that adds a stunning splash of color to aquascapes. With patience and stable conditions, it thrives and becomes a true centerpiece in any planted aquarium.
The plant survived the brutal Texas heat during transportation; it is now slowly flourishing and increasing in size, there was no melting to my surprise, which verifies that a healthy plant was shipped.
I appreciate the great looking plants and great service you always provide.
Overpriced, came in the mail looking nothing like the picture, and started melting after one day.
Hey! I’m sorry to hear you were unhappy with the plant. Cryptocoryne can sometimes melt after being introduced to a new aquarium, but it should regrow from the roots once established. If a plant ever arrives in poor condition however, please follow the DOA instructions included in the package and email me so I can make it right!
Great looking crypts! Came in healthy and looking great in the tank. Daku has an amazing assortment of all things freshwater. 10/10 would recommend trying his store out.
Excellent roots. Doing very well in the tank. Will buy more
