Native to Sri Lanka
'Mi Oya' is a variety that has been well established in the aquarium trade because of its beautiful color and vigorous growth.
This is a Cryptocoryne that will grow equally well as an aquarium plant or as a terrarium plant, though it is when used under water that its color really shines.
Also commonly known as 'Red Wendtii'.
It is a great plant for the beginner, as it will tolerate almost any aquarium conditions from low to high light and grows easily without supplemental CO2.
