Cryptocoryne Beckettii
Cryptocoryne beckettii
Family: Araceae
Cryptocoryne Beckettii is a compact, adaptable crypt producing wavy-edged leaves that range from olive-green on the upper surface to pink-brown or purple on the underside — colouration intensifying under brighter light. It is among the most forgiving crypts, tolerating harder and more alkaline water than most of its relatives. A reliable midground plant for low-tech community tanks.
