Care Tips: Cryptocoryne tonkinensis is an easy-to-care-for plant that thrives in low to moderate lighting. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and stable water conditions. Like other Cryptocorynes, it may undergo some leaf melting when first introduced to an aquarium, but this is temporary. Trimming old or decaying leaves encourages fresh growth. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can improve growth and overall plant health.
