A midground aquarium plant suited to planted freshwater tanks, this form of Cryptocoryne wendtii gives you reddish-brown, slightly hammered foliage that adds colour and texture to a layout. It's supplied as a pack of three closed 1-2-Grow! cups of tissue-cultured plant material, ready for your own tank setup. Its native range is limited to the Mi Oya river in Sri Lanka, making it a distinct form rather than a generic wendtii selection.
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is a form of Cryptocoryne wendtii found only in the Mi Oya river in Sri Lanka, set apart by red-brown leaves with a slightly hammered surface rather than the smoother, greener foliage typical of more widely sold wendtii forms.
It suits aquarists wanting plant structure between foreground and background planting, where its rosette shape and leaf colour add depth and contrast. The plant helps break up a layout that would otherwise rely on height and colour from other species alone.
What you get is a pack of three cups in the 1-2-Grow! format: tissue-cultured plant material grown in closed cups rather than sold potted or bare-root. Leaves reach 20-35cm and rosettes spread 15-30cm wide as the plant matures, so it needs room to grow into over time.
What sets this form apart is its narrow native range combined with its leaf texture: it comes from a single river system in Sri Lanka rather than being a widespread selection. Many Cryptocoryne species are also described as tolerant of higher temperatures, and in the wild this plant grows in streams exceeding 30 degrees C.
