Cryptocoryne albida

A few varieties of sheets in the same plant are available and the colors vary from green to brown-red, occasionally with dark tasks. This plant does not move well and will take a while before acclimating, but once installed and if supplied with adequate lighting and a rich nutrient intake in the substrate, it should push well. Too much light can reduce the size of the leaves.
