Care Tips: Cryptocoryne ferruginea 'Sekadauensis' is a beautiful, slow to medium-growing plant known for its reddish-brown to bronze-colored leaves, which give a unique, earthy aesthetic to aquascapes. It thrives in low to medium lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it suitable for low-tech setups. Regular water changes, a nutrient-rich substrate, and occasional fertilization will support healthy growth. It prefers stable water parameters and should be planted with its rhizome exposed to avoid rot. Its compact size makes it ideal for foreground or midground use in aquascapes.
