Cryptocoryne cordata var. diderici
May 18th, 2009
I’ve been growing Cryptocoryne cordata var. diderici for almost two years now. It differs from the other cordata variants in several ways. The leaves have a reddish tone to them and the limb of the spathe is red, as opposed to the bright yellow / brownish stained yellow color of regular cordata.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I noticed a spathe coming up – and a few days ago it opened up. As the spathe opened up, it continued to open until there was a slit in the tube itself. Weird. I guess the flower was just too small / weak.
