Crypt Wendtii Broadleaf
Crypt Wendtii Broadleaf
The broadleaf form of Cryptocoryne wendtii trades the usual narrow blades for wider, more substantial leaves in green-to-bronze tones, giving it real visual weight in the midground. It’s every bit as hardy and adaptable as standard wendtii, spreading by runners and thriving in low light. Feed the roots and expect a little melt after planting before it settles in.
Care level: Easy · Placement: Midground · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Slow-Moderate · Propagation: runners

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
