Description
This beautiful form of the robust, time-tested Cryptocoryne wendtii from Sri Lanka is named after the nursery Tropica. When growing under water, it develops dark, hammered, relatively broad leaves. Therefore it is also falsely called "Cryptocoryne bullosa" that is the name of another species. When grown in an open space, the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom. With its leaves from 10-15 cm and a rosette from 10-20 cm wide, it is suitable for small aquariums. Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard water.
The parent species Cryptocoryne wendtii is native to western, north-western and central Sri Lanka, where it usually grows in the water or on the banks of streams and rivers; its natural forms differ markedly in leaf shape, colour and size.1 The cultivar C. wendtii 'Tropica' is named after a nursery; its leaves are dark brown and strongly marbled.123 Underwater the comparatively broad blade looks hammered, which has earned it the misleading name Cryptocoryne bullosa – a name that actually refers to a separate species.23
Where no neighbouring plants crowd it, the leaves lie almost flat on the ground. (read more)

Even now this little clump looks fantastic! I love this "hammered look" in the leaf structure. Great plant!
