This beautiful variety with the dark, hammered leaves is named after 'Tropica'. When grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom. It is suitable for small aquariums with leaves from 4-8 inches, and a rosette from 4-8 inches wide. Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard water.

Pots are brimming with plants and have lots of mass and healthy,
well-developed roots.
Most pots can be divided into several portions or individual plants which are planted separately.
