Potted Crinum Calamistratum

A stunning and unusual bulb hailing from central Africa!

This Crinum type is stocky and easy to please, although slow growing. It prefers softer water and better light. It does even better in Co2 and High lights, and may even flower for you! 

This African plant does need a nutrient-rich substrate. Supplement with root tabs for the best result!

Be sure to plant no more than a quarter of the bulb beneath the surface. Any deeper and you're asking for rot.

Lovely, thin, highly ruffled leaves grow similar to an onion bulb!

Single bulb rooted in pot is 6-12" long. 

SUBMERGED-GROWN

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-7
• Low to high light intensity.
• Slow growth speed
• Root tabs and Co2 recommended
• 8- 24" tall
• Propagates via daughter bulbs

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
