Potted Cryptocoryne Becketti (Water Trumpet)

 A perfect low light plant! Crypts generally grow very slowly and do not like to be disturbed, so plan accordingly!

The Potted Cryptocoryne Becketti, also known as Water Trumpet, is a commonly chosen crypt plant for beginners due to its relatively easy maintenance. With its unique reddish, ruffle-textured leaves, it adds a beautiful and eye-catching accent to any mid-ground or centerpiece display. Its striking contrast to other green plants makes it a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts.

One of the lowest-light, and easiest-to-please plants I carry, you should nonetheless expect some leaf melt when it's shipped your way. These like to regrow their leaves when disturbed.

Potted plants are better established and average 6" tall.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
