Cryptocoryne cordata var. siamensis ‘Rosanervig’

This beauty is also one of my new additions in collection. I am happy to have it. I already have one, but when I got it, it didn’t have this pretty pattern – but lets wait and see.

Cryptocoryne usteriana – another try

I guess it has been 2 years now since I got some C. usteriana from one tricky seller. I had doubts about its ID when I bought it, but I wanted to try it.

Now when I have met other collectors I was able to acquire C. usteriana again from someone more trustworthy. The plants come from a crowded tank, they grow one by one so they don’t have a lot of space and are still young. I expected the leaves will be more bullated and of course more red on the bottom side of leaves…and much more larger I guess. 🙂

'Green Gecko' and its color palette

A few days ago I was talking with a friend about ‘Green Gecko’. I wanted to show him why I like Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green Gecko’ more than ‘Flamingo’.

Here is the reason – large color palette.

Cryptocoryne hudoroi

This beauty went straight into my tanks (submersed). I was very pleased how big the plants I got.

Cryptocoryne striolata (West Kalimantan) – new in my collection

As I promised I enclose photos. These were taken just few days after arrival. I was very happy to find a fruit in shipment. After all I have never seen one (just pictures). The plants are already planted and a have new leaf. I put two of them into emersed tanks, and for the last one I have created a semi-emersed box.
