Cryptocoryne becketii
NOTE: The photos labeled "AS OF 7/31/25" is what the plant currently looks like.
The Petchii is notoriously easy to keep
We love the mix of red and green on them. This is a medium to large crypt.
We have had these for a week and are growing them UNDERWATER...
They have a killer red stem and are HARDY. (They already have new growth coming out of the center)
They get to be about 6 inches tall and are a great midground plant.

Not great. Yellow leaves not in great shape.
Not sure what I think about this plant. I dint normally have melt with crypts but the leaves on this one seem a little bit more beat. It’s full though, so remaining optimistic. I gave a 5 because fully expect it to start growing like the other crypts have done.
Nice large plant with a good amount per year unit!
The Cryptocoryne becketii looks fabulous and had decent root stock. I was surprised to two other crypts in the box. I am new to live pants so I am not sure what the other two are but the foliage is different, everything was well package, with a warming pack.
The roots came in very small but they might bounce back up. As usualy all crypts melt but normally you are paying for the roots. Here I got no roots or leafs.
