Cryptocoryne lutea is one of the easiest Cryptocoryne species from Sri Lanka to care for.
The new dwarf form, Hobbit, was isolated from a normal sized plant in the greenhouse and further propagated in the laboratory.
Growing to a height of just a few centimetres, this Cryptocoryne is ideal for even the smallest aquaria.
The growth rate is also significantly slower than that of the stem form.
With good lighting, the leaves become a deep purplish-brown colour and make a nice contrast to other green foreground plants.
