Care Tips: Cryptocoryne lutea is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that adapts well to a variety of lighting conditions, although it thrives in low to moderate light. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and stable water conditions. Like other Cryptocoryne species, some leaf melting may occur during acclimatization, but this is temporary. Regular pruning will keep it looking tidy. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can enhance its growth rate.
