Description
This variant of the time-tested Cryptocoryne wendtii was selected from C. wendtii 'Mi Oya' in 2006 by Florida Aquatic Nurseries, and it has been available in trade since 2009. It is also available under the name Cryptocoryne sp. 'Sunset'. Unique as it is very colourful: pink to white and golden yellow hues, interspersed with green. No two plants of this variant are th same, so a group of them will create a combination of many different colours. C. wendtii 'Florida Sunset' is as undemanding as its parent form, however, the colours are brighter under medium to strong light.

Soweit perfekt!
Kam heute an, alles super verpackt, kaum abgeknickte Blätter.
Die Pflanze sah ziemlich genau so aus wie auf dem Bild und ließ schon erahnen, wie spannend die Farbnuancen sein werden. Sie ließ sich in sechs kleine Pflanzen teilen.
Die Zeit wird zeigen, wie sie bei uns anwächst, aber das liegt dann nicht mehr in der Hand des Shops.
