Lutea

Cryptocoryne lutea is a hardy, slow-growing crypt with narrow, lance-shaped leaves in shades of olive to reddish-brown. Perfect for low-tech tanks, it adapts easily and adds subtle color and texture to the midground.

• Light Level: Low to Medium (AquaSky or Fluval 3.0 suitable)
• Placement: Rooted in substrate
• Fertilization: Benefits from root tabs (Easy Root Tabs or Seachem Root Tabs) and occasional liquid ferts like Easy Green
• CO₂: Not required
• Notes: May experience initial melt when introduced, but reliably regrows once established—great for shrimp tanks and community setups
