The Cryptocoryne Beckettii is a classic, easy-to-grow aquatic plant that adds beautiful texture and natural depth to freshwater aquariums. This Sri Lankan native features long, narrow leaves with wavy edges, ranging in color from deep green to reddish-brown, depending on lighting and nutrient conditions. It is perfect for midground placement in aquascapes, where its compact, bushy growth provides excellent coverage for fish and invertebrates.
Grown in sterile tissue culture cups, this plant is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and algae-free, ensuring a healthy and worry-free start in your aquarium. Unlike traditionally grown plants, tissue-cultured specimens arrive with strong, young growth, ready to establish in your tank.
Features We Love:
- Unique Color Variations – Green, bronze, and reddish-brown tones shift based on lighting and nutrients.
- Hardy & Adaptable – Thrives in a variety of tank conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experts alike.
- Perfect for Midground Aquascaping – Creates natural-looking clusters with lush, textured foliage.
- Ideal for Shrimp & Community Tanks – Provides excellent cover and biofilm-grazing surfaces for shrimp and fish.
Care Guidelines:
- Light: Low to moderate.
- Temperature: 72° - 82° F (22° - 28° C).
- pH Range: 6.0 - 7.5.
- Growth Rate: Slow to moderate.
- Ideal Placement: Midground.
Pro Tips:
- Rooted Growth – Unlike rhizome plants, Crypts prefer to be planted in the substrate and will develop strong root systems.
- Avoid Disturbance – Once planted, Crypts can melt if moved or if parameters shift, but they will recover with time.
- Nutrient-Rich Substrate Helps – Crypts absorb nutrients through their roots, so using a planted tank substrate or adding root tabs boosts growth.
- CO₂ Optional, But Beneficial – While not required, CO₂ supplementation can enhance growth and intensify coloration.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
