Care Tips: Cryptocoryne retrospiralis requires a nutrient-rich substrate and prefers moderate to high lighting for best growth and coloration. It may experience some leaf melting when first introduced, but this is temporary, and new growth will follow. Regular pruning helps maintain a neat appearance and promotes healthier, denser growth. CO₂ supplementation will support optimal growth, but is not essential.
