Cryptocoryne 'Sindoor' is a rare and striking aquarium plant, admired for its unique red-pinkish hues that resemble traditional Indian "sindoor" (vermilion), hence the name. This cultivar is a favorite among aquascapers looking for color variation in the midground or foreground without needing intense lighting or CO₂. Available as a Growow Tissue Culture (TC) Plant, it ensures a clean, disease-free, and algae-free introduction to any planted tank.

💡 Note: Like most Cryptocoryne, 'Sindoor' may experience “crypt melt” after initial planting. This is normal and regrowth will begin from the root base once settled.
