Are all crypts low light?

Hi Blackheart,

If you are asking if crypts can 'tolerate' lower light levels the answer for most of the species is 'yes'. However, some species are more tolerate than others and some do very well with higher levels of light.

How about wendtii?

How about wendtii?

Hi Blackheart,

My experience has been that C. wendtii does well from lower to higher light levels. However, for my C. wendtii 'Red' to looks it's best it needs medium light or higher.

I know that parva will live in low, but it won't grow without at least medium

I've found all Wendtii variants, C. Walkeri 'Lutea', and Cordata 'Blassii', C. Pontederiifolia all tolerant of high light.

C. aponogetifolia works well with low light. I have tons of it!
