Lagenandra Keralensis

Lagenandra keralensis

Add a touch of rarity and elegance to your aquascape with Lagenandra keralensis, a beautiful species native to India that closely resembles Cryptocoryne in both appearance and growth habit.

Much like a crypt, Lagenandra keralensis grows slowly and stays compact, making it ideal for midground placement or as a standout accent in smaller tanks. It thrives in low to medium light and adapts easily once established, rewarding aquascapers with subtle beauty and a unique leaf shape that sets it apart from more common species.
