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.
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
An absolutely beautiful plant if you're looking for something tall and wispy that had a nice red tint to it. I placed this in the middle of my 75 gallon, and it breaks up the surrounding green plants perfectly. If you're looking for a taller plant that flows well with a bit of movement or looks fantastic standing still, I would recommend this plant. The two plants I ordered arrived large, healthy and took immediately to my AZ water. The photos on the website do not do them justice. Would recommend DAKU for plants over ANY other vendor out there!
Two weeks in and the plants are now getting settled. Minimal melt and no pests after a quick rinse through running water. Beautiful colors.
