Cryptocoryne Ferruginea Sekadauensis Vitro Culture

Cryptocoryne ferruginea 'Sekadauensis' in Vitro Culture® – Rare Bornean Crypt with Textured Beauty

Cryptocoryne ferruginea 'Sekadauensis' is a rare and visually distinct aquarium plant native to Borneo, Indonesia, named after the Sekadau region in West Kalimantan. Known for its richly textured, lance-shaped leaves and variable coloration ranging from olive-green to reddish-brown with subtle metallic undertones, this Cryptocoryne species is a true collector’s gem. Now available in our Vitro Culture® bag, this plant is grown under sterile, lab-controlled conditions to ensure it arrives free from snails, algae, and pathogens—ideal for aquascaping in sensitive or shrimp-safe tanks.
