Cryptocoryne walkeri(lutea)

The Cryptocoryne walkeri (lutea) is a perennial marsh plant that grows only in nature ' area of \u200b\u200bSri Lanka.Appartenente to-glia of the Araceae family, this plant grows on a soil arg illoso / near the muddy banks of rivers, forming dense praterie.In nature as in the aquarium does not grow quickly and create thickets take several months.

The leaves , lanceolate and slightly wavy in some forms, can reach and even exceed 30 cm in height.
Regarding the lighting, the plant has no special demands for adapting a light not too bright: it conjures in this way even the appearance of algae.
optium The temperature is around 25 ° C, while a slightly acidic pH and low hardness foster its growth, even if the plant can tolerate without significant problems of hardness values high.
The cultivation takes place in the aquarium by placing hard-working (you can help with tweezers) of individual plants that will go after some cm.Nel subsequent period, after an adaptation phase, each plant will begin to develop a large and stolon and imposing apparatus radicale.Il growth substrate is a limiting factor in siluppo essence of this: If you are rich enough in terms of nutrient growth will result stentata.Di the lack of an appropriate breeding fund (or the presence of a substrate dated growth) requires the introduction of appropriate fertilizer tabs to be inserted near the radici.L 'release of CO2 is not essential but ne aiuta sicuramente lo sviluppo.
Come per tutte le cryptocoryne bisogna far attenzione alla cosiddetta " peste delle cryptocoryne "durante la quale le foglie della pianta vanno incontro a marcescenza provocando un aumento della concentrazione di materia organica in decomposizione che negli acquari di dimensioni contenute può avere effetti devastanti;Generalmente questo evento è causato da repentini sbalzi di temperatura e/o valori chimici dell'acqua che molte volte avvengono in maniera involontaria.In questi casi è necessario intervenire tempestivamente tagliando tutte le foglie ma lasciando il picciolo ove possibile in modo che la pianta sia stimolata alla reimmissione di nuove foglie adatte alle new conditions. The
Cryptocoryne walkeri stolonifera is a plant and thus propagates in submerged culture by producing stolons that "run" just below the substrate for several centimentri.Per regard to the pruning you can simply cut the damaged leaves .
