CRYPTOCORYNE SPEC. FLAMINGO – Unique Pink Leaf Aquarium Plant

The Cryptocoryne spec. Flamingo is an extraordinary and rare aquarium plant, distinguished by its stunning pink foliage, which ranges from light pastel shades to deep pink hues. This unique cultivar originated spontaneously in greenhouse conditions and is exclusively propagated in laboratories through meristem culture, ensuring consistent quality and health.

With its slow growth rate, the Flamingo Cryptocoryne requires stable conditions and adequate lighting to thrive and maintain its vibrant color. Due to its compact size (maximum 10 cm height), it is an excellent choice for foreground placement, particularly in Nano Cubes and small planted aquariums.
