"The cryptocoryne Usteriana is really impressive! It is also known as Aponogetifolia and produces under water leaves with a length of up to 70 cm! Unfortunately this under water culture is difficult to realise in a nursery. Therefore they seldom feature on the stock list. However we have found a way to least make them grow. You will receive a small, compact plant that will really make a BOOST when it feels water!!! It does love hard, alkaline water and can also be kept well in a cichlid tray."
