Crinum Calamistratum
Crinum Calamistratum is a bulbous aquatic plant that sprouts narrow, semi-curly dark green leaves. It has the potential to grow very long and doesn’t require as much light when compared to other Crinum species. It can be propagated by replanting smaller bulbs formed from the main bulb. Interesting facts about Crinum Calamistratum are that they can also be kept in brackish aquariums with low salt concentrations and will not be eaten by herbivorous fish species. CO2 is not required but this aquatic plant, like most, will benefit from the addition of CO2 injection.
