Cryptocoryne affinis

Info

Aquarists have been tending water trumpets for more than 50 years. All Dennerle Cryptocorynes are grown emersed in our greenhouses. Growth behaviour and leaf form differs significantly according to whether plants grow in emersed and submersed states. Cryptocoryne affinis is no exception. The typical olive-green to brown foliage only develops under water. These plants are not demanding in terms of light, but optimum growth is achieved in slightly alkaline water. C. affinis comes highly recommended for cichlid aquariums with limestone.
