Aponogeton crispus, the Crinkled Aponogeton, is an easy-to-grow bulb plant that thrives in medium to low-light aquariums. The plant has narrow, wavy leaves that are typically light green and slightly translucent. However, when exposed to high levels of light, the leaves turn a beautiful bronze or orange colour.

This plant is well-suited for beginner aquarists as it is more forgiving in its requirements than many other Aponogeton species. It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 6.5-7.5 and a water temperature between 22-28°C. It can also tolerate a wide range of water hardness, making it a versatile addition to any aquarium.

Aponogeton crispus grows from a bulb, which should be planted with the upper portion above the substrate. The plant will grow well with regular fertilisation and a substrate rich in nutrients.

Overall, this is a beautiful and low-maintenance plant that can add colour and texture to any aquarium. Its ability to thrive in low-light environments and forgiving nature make it a great choice for both novice and experienced aquarists.
