Description
The Hobbit water trumpet is a very short selection of Cryptocoryne walkeri "Lutea", originating from the nursery Dennerle. This only few centimeters high dwarf cultivar grows slower than the wild type, but is also undemanding. So it is very well suited for smallest tanks as well as bigger tanks in the foreground. In its terrestrial form, the leaves are green, but the submerged leaves get an intensively violet-brown coloration, good lighting provided. So it provides a nice contrast to other foreground plants.
