Description
This beautiful variant of Cryptocoryne wendtii from Mi Oya River on Sri Lanka has characteristic reddish-brown slightly bullous lanceolate submersed leaves with an undulate margin. It can grow to a height of 20-35 cm, however, under lots of light it spreads more.
It is as easy to cultivate as other variants of the time-tested C. wendtii, and it tolerates temperatures of over 30 °C. Its emerged leaves are mainly green, however, under water the plant assumes the habit described above.
Characteristics
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is another beautiful variety from the group of plants related to C. wendtii, with its reddish-brown well-structured leaves. It is only found in Mi Oya river on Sri Lanka, where the water is very warm. Tropia company was the first aquatic plant nursery to add this plant to their product range and to distribute it commercially. All in all, this species is a variety of C. wendtii that's not so very common in the hobby.
The cultivation of Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is quite easy. A substrate rich in nutrients enhances growth. Light plays a decisive role in the growth habit of this variety. Lots of light results in a horizontal leaf position, whereas little light prompts C. wendtii 'Mi Oya' to grow vertically.
An addition of CO2 is not required. Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' does not tend to rot, like so many other representatives of the C. ()
