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.
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is another beautiful variety from the group of plants related to C. wendtii, with its reddish-brown well-structured leaves.
