Crinum Natans....
The Ultimate Aquarium Plant. If I could have any job in the world, what would it be.
Finding, retrieving and healing up plants like these.... It's the one on my T-shirts, It's the plant that over time has taken over my 220 gallon aquarium...
If Indiana Jones were an aquarium plant hunter, this would be the plant he would be going after. Straight up, a tribe leader in Africa was paid for rights to collect these plants on his lands.
These are Crinum Natan.
These plants came in CUT way back. Further back than I would have liked actually. (There is a balance of how many can you fit in the box, the more you fit the cheaper the shipping, and the more work for Dustin and crew)
We had these plants for 9 days now. (We got them in This has been a great challenge for us. A challenge and a labor of love I have been enjoying. Growing out one of my favorite plants in my new Greenhouse 2.0 where i have the capacity to do so.
To say I am happy with the results is an understatement. You know how when you breed dogs they have the "Pick of the litter" These 20 are the pick of the liter. These are the 20 best plants I have hand selected.
This is some of my best work. These are some of my best plants. (Some with runners, some that are starting to flower.)
To ensure the proper care of these babies we are ONLY Selling them in combination with our Growth Juice at this time. These are wild collected plant. They are now in extremely good health and we want to keep it that way.
CRINUM CARE: Crinum come from Africa. When you hear Africa think Cichlids and HARD WATER. Now, you might not know if you have hard water, but these plants enjoy a higher mineral content. This can easily be achieve by adding crushed coral, dolamite or aragonite to your aquarium. DO THIS for best result for not just this plant but others.
Don't over think the hard water. Our Growth Juice and Iron will keep your plants healthy. (How the heck do you think we have grown them out?)
LIGHTING: We have found that the fastest way to grow these plants (and basically ANY Plants is with high light. That said, I have been growing my MONSTER Crinum Natans for years under medium to low light aquarium that is 30 inches tall.... and my Crinum Natans is now about 60 inches tall.
SUBSTRATE: We have tested this plant in dirt and in plain old pea gravel. It has done better in dirt. (Shocker) BUT is still growing in plain gravel. NOTE: MY Friend Bryan also has NEVER done a dirted aquarium and has a Crinum Natans that is second only to mine in my 220.
ALL CRINUM LIKE WATER FLOW.
The stalks are between 3/4 of an inch or way more. You will have some slightly brown edges, and brown in spots. This is just how the plant travels. THEY ARE HEALTHY. You are looking at the plants we are selling.
The bigger they get, the more they will cost. Grab one NOW.
Customer Reviews
Thanks for another fine shipment of plants Dustin. The Crinum natans is the third species of Crinum in my collection. I placed it in a rear corner where it should fit nicely as it grows up. Attached is a photo of it when I just planted it, a photo showing the other two Crinums, and a more distant photo of the other side of the tank where you can see some happy flowers from Echinodorus and Aponogeton.
I bought enough plants for myself a d a friend of mine. When I say the packaging was incredible, the plants were 10 times that. We couldn't be any happier with the amount of specimens and the quality. It made a huge difference in our tanks. They definitely are conversation starters! The fish and other creatures love them. The customer service is top notch and very quick to respond. Just a great overall experience!!!
So excited to see this grow in my tank!
Plant showed up fast and in great shape. But, I ordered crinum with juice. Never received any juice
This thing is awesome! It's adapting well to the fresh tank I put it in and has already started to get new growth. I can't wait for it to take off and fill the corner it's in up.
