Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Sindoor’ – Vibrant Rosette Aquarium Plant

Add bold color and easy-growing beauty to your aquascape with Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Sindoor’, a rare cultivar celebrated for its deep red to copper tones and robust growth. Perfect for midground placement or as a centerpiece in nano tanks, 'Sindoor' thrives in low-tech to high-tech environments with minimal maintenance.

 

Key Features

  • Striking Coloration: Displays vivid shades of brick red, rust, and mahogany, especially under moderate to high light. The leaf surface can develop a soft iridescence that deepens with maturity.

  • Hardy & Adaptable: Like all wendtii types, ‘Sindoor’ is extremely tolerant of varying conditions, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned aquascapers alike.

  • Low Maintenance: Slow to moderate growth with minimal pruning needs; ideal for low CO₂ and low light setups, but responds well to enhanced conditions.

  • Natural Rosette Shape: Grows in dense clusters with gracefully arching leaves, creating a soft, natural aesthetic in both modern and jungle-style layouts.

Care Requirements

Parameter Recommended Range
Lighting Low to medium (high enhances color)
CO₂ Not required, but beneficial
Placement Midground or foreground (larger tanks)
Substrate Nutrient-rich preferred
Growth Rate Moderate

💡 Tip: Avoid disturbing the roots once planted—Crypts may “melt” when moved but will regrow quickly if left undisturbed.
