Cryptocoryne x timahensis


Cryptocoryne x timahensis is an unusual and very rare crypt. Found only in a small pool in Bukit Timah national park in Singapore. C. x timahensis grows near the top of the hill in a very tiny stream in an artificial pond which is formed by damming the stream. There are no other localities known, so this plant is extremely vulnerable for any changes in the hydrological situation. Fortunately, this area is protected by a small forest growing on and around the hill. Plants grow in a shallow stream (about 25 cm deep) and water is slightly acidic.


Cryptocoryne x timahensis is believed to be a natural hybrid between Cryptocoryne nurii and Cryptocoryne cordata.


I am growing this crypt in my High-tech setup.
