Cryptocoryne coronata

A Philippine Cryptocoryne with little recorded about its wild sites, grown by enthusiasts both submersed and emersed. Like its relatives it lives on shaded stream banks that flood in the monsoon. Give it warm, soft, low-light water or a humid emersed setup with a rich, fine substrate.

Where it grows wild

Inferred from the genus: shaded forest streams and their banks, rooted in silty or sandy mud and spending part of the year submersed when the water rises.

Unknown; the climate site is a regional point near sea level, not a recorded locality.
