Our Cryptocoryne Costata is ordered from our nursery who grows them immersed. Due to how slow Cryptocoryne Costata grows, we sell them once we see 2 submerged leaves on the plant. This means that however many immersed leaves are left will probably melt after a few weeks in your tank. With the new submerged growth, the Costata should be fine.

Cryptocoryne Costata is uncommon compared to those you would typically find at your Local Fish Store. Crypt Costata is relatively easy, like most other crypts, however, it will range in color from red to bright green depending on the lighting.
