Care Tips: Cryptocoryne petchii is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that does well in low to moderate lighting. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and regular water changes. Like other Cryptocoryne species, it may experience some leaf melting during acclimatization, but this is temporary. Once acclimatized, it thrives with minimal care. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can encourage faster growth.
