Care Tips: Cryptocoryne usteriana 'Red' thrives in moderate to high light and a nutrient-rich substrate. Its distinctive red tones are most pronounced under good lighting conditions. As with many Cryptocorynes, it may experience some leaf melting during acclimatization, but this is temporary. Regular pruning of old or dying leaves helps encourage fresh growth. CO₂ supplementation will enhance growth and coloration.
