Cryptocoryne Retrospiralis is a 'taller' Crypt similar to Crypt Balansae, and the hammered- bronze texture of the leaves is a perennial favorite!
I'd place these in the midground, to back in your aquascaping, as they are among the taller crypt species and can get between 12" to 24".
One of the lowest-light, and easiest-to-please plants I carry, you should nonetheless expect some leaf melt when it's shipped your way. These like to regrow their leaves when disturbed.
One plant is 4-8" tall.
SUBMERGED-GROWN
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low to Medium light intensity.
- Slow growth speed
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

Was pleasantly surprised to find 2 plants tied together. They are small but very healthy looking. Only the oldest leaf melted back and already have some new growth.
