Description

Cryptocoryne sp. "Wallisii" is a Cryptocoryne about which we still have little information. It is sold as "Cryptocoryne wallisii", but this is not a valid species name. So far, we have not been able to identify the plant more precisely, and it probably does not belong to Cryptocoryne × willisii either. The "Wallisii" Cryptocoryne grows to at least 10 cm tall when submerged and has ovate, medium-green leaf blades. Interestingly, the submerged leaves are not much narrower than the emersed leaves, unlike those of many other Cryptocoryne species.

This slow- to moderately growing rosette plant is robust and easy to care for. It performs best under moderate lighting and adapts well to a wide range of water conditions. A nutrient-rich substrate encourages healthy root development, while CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilisation can promote stronger growth. Like many water trumpets, Cryptocoryne sp. "Wallisii" often requires a short acclimatisation period after planting, but it then resumes growth reliably.

Cryptocoryne sp. "Wallisii" is an excellent choice for the midground of both small and large aquariums, as well as for the background of smaller tanks. It gradually forms attractive colonies by producing underground runners and combines particularly well with ferns, mosses and finely divided stem plants. Its relatively broad leaves clearly distinguish it from other water trumpets of a similar size.
