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.

April-May 2014, what is going on recently…
Due to a long business trips I had no time to update my site. I have written some posts in Czech… and now for something completely different – English update..
So… here it is.
Plants are growing just fine. I am trying to do a regular changes of water and from time I measure water parameters. As I wrote before, some new species are making me happy. But more on that topic later in a new post. I have uncovered my glass cover a bit more to lower humidity and for better air circulation. Some of my plants really resemble submersed condition. It is time to toughen up!
Oh, and I nearly forgot… My C. wendtii ‘Green Gecko‘ got nice reddish pattern on leaves also in an emersed form.
‘Green Gecko‘ gone wild! Gone red!
I love red colour of my submersed Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green Gecko’. New leaves are reddish while the older ones go to green (at least for now).
Update Sept 11, 2012:
Update Jan 24, 2013:
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green Gecko’ finally arrived!
My new Green Gecko Crypt arrived yesterday. It took 8 days from Hong Kong. Crypt seems to be fine… of course, some leaves melted, but overall it looks great.
Edit 12.5.2012: Already planted some Green Gecko(s)… I am going to give it a try in emersed form next week.
Update 29.7.2012: Green Gecko has got nice colours, new leaves are a bit reddish.

Edit 27.5.2012: Recently I have planted it also in a pot to try emersed form. Since 15.5.2012 (planted) it has got 2 new emersed leaves.
