Common Name: Mi Oya Water Trumpet
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is another beautiful variety from the group of plants related to C. wendtii, with its reddish-brown well-structured leaves. It is only found in Mi Oya river on Sri Lanka, where the water is very warm. Tropia was the first aquatic plant nursery to add this plant to their product range and to distribute it commercially. All in all, this species is a variety of C. wendtii that's not so very common in the hobby.
Like others in the group, this species doesn't tend to melt. A great plant to add to your Cryptocoryne collection!
