The leaves are deep green and almond shaped, with thin brown stems. It is slow growing, making it ideal for a foreground or midground plant, and only requires low to medium light. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis species of crypt grows best in a nutrient rich substrate, but can be grown in inert substrate if it is supplemented with root tabs. It can be grown emersed in high humidity environments. As the plant reaches maturity, it will begin sending out runners that will eventually produce more plants with their own root systems. After a long time, the network of runners can create an almost carpeted appearance.  You can also propagate the plant by dividing it at the roots, or by separating runners from the mother plant. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohenrystanksalot.com","offers":[{"title":"Medium (3-5in)","offer_id":44238081359965,"sku":"CRY-01-01","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large (7+in)","offer_id":67691409440861,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/3707\/4781\/files\/lucens-tank.jpg?v=1769120446"},{"product_id":"cryptocoryne-retrospiralis","title":"Cryptocoryne Spiralis","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpiral Crypt, Giant Red Crypt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Mature Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e12 to 24 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Light: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium to High\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCrypt Spiralis a hardy variety of crypt that sports long, grasslike foliage in a deep green hue.
