Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Tiger' is a fantastic choice for aquarists looking to add height, texture, and unique leaf patterns to their aquariums with a plant that is both low-maintenance and visually appealing.
The plant came large and healthy. Very minimal melting.
This is a great plant. Others need to realize that when you do receive crypts of any kind, they always melt back and they look dead. leave the plant in the pot until regrowth starts. it needs acclimation time then you can plant it.
Easy to plant. Nice tall plant for the background.
Plants showed up fast, mostly looked healthy, packed a bit tight in a box too small and the packaging with dry paper towel left a few plants wilted a bit….time an a bit of luck should bring them back to 💯 I’m hoping
Very Healthy Plant
