Cryptocoryne axelrodi, also known as Cryptocoryne undulata, is a decorative plant native to Sri Lanka with narrow leaves and a greenish-brown color. It is a member of the Cryptocoryne wendtii and C. beckettii species and can grow in almost all water types.
Like other crypts, Cryptocoryne Axelrodi is great for beginner hobbyists due to its ease in keeping and low care requirements. If grown in good aquarium substratel, the plant can feed through the roots and grow quickly without the need for high light, CO2 or fertilizer dosing. However, the addition of CO2 and good lighting will result in healthier, more robust growth. Crypts can be grown emersed or submerged. Propagate by splitting the rhizome or cutting off new growth and replanting.
