Cryptocoryne costata is a distinctive Cryptocoryne with elongated, ribbed leaves with a characteristic wave running along the leaf blade. The ribbing and wave together give the lea ves a sculptural quality, and the plant typically reaches 15–20cm — suitable for midground positioning in most aquariums.Low light, no CO2, planted in substrate. Root tabs encourage faster establishment. Like all Crypts, it can experience temporary leaf melt after being moved — leave the rhizome in the substrate and new growth will emerge. Once established it is reliable and undemanding.Plant roots in the substrate without burying the crown. It propagates via runners and gradually expands over time. Show more
