Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' - Tropica

Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' — Tropica | Potted

Tall, elegant, and strikingly architectural — a background plant that truly earns its space.

Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' brings something genuinely different to the planted aquarium. Native to India, this impressive variety can reach over 50cm in height, with narrow upright leaves just 1-1.5cm wide featuring softly waved edges and an occasional subtle green mid-stripe that adds natural variation and character to each individual plant.

Where most Cryptocorynes stay low and bushy, Spiralis 'Red' reaches for the surface — making it an exceptional background plant for larger aquascapes where height and movement are needed. The narrow leaves sway beautifully in flow, adding a sense of life and depth that broader leaved plants simply can't replicate.

Sourced from Tropica, the world's gold standard in aquatic plant production, our Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' arrives healthy and potted, ready to make an immediate impact in your aquascape.

What makes it special:

• Tropica sourced — guaranteed quality and healthy roots
• Impressive height up to 50cm — a true statement background plant
• Narrow waved leaves with natural variation between individual plants
• Hardy and adaptable — a reliable grower with proper light and nutrition
• Compatible with shrimp, snails, and all community fish
