Spiralis, also known as Cryptocoryne spiralis, adds both height and visual drama to freshwater planted aquariums
Considered the most "primitive" of Crypocorynes and distinguished by a septum closing the kettle, Spiralis is a common plant found in India's rice fields
Tall, slender, ruffled leaves sway gracefully under water, while emergent forms grow considerably shorter with broader leaves
Regular pruning and thinning will keep it looking its best
Spiralis requires stable water conditions to prevent rotting of the stems and leaves.
