Cryptocoryne Pink Flamingo

Description:

Bring a splash of rare beauty to your aquascape with the stunning Cryptocoryne ‘Pink Flamingo’, a highly sought-after aquarium plant known for its delicate pink and red tones. Unlike typical green or brown Cryptocoryne varieties, this rare cultivar showcases soft pink to deep rose hues that stand out vividly underwater.

As it matures, new leaves emerge in a rich blood-red before softening to pastel pink, creating a striking gradient effect. Once established, Pink Flamingo is easy to maintain and thrives under moderate lighting. With higher light levels and CO₂ supplementation, it produces even deeper, more vibrant coloration — making it an exceptional centerpiece plant for any freshwater aquarium.
