Cryptocoryne usteriana is an exciting aquarium plant.  It is one of the larger species of Cryptocorynes that makes for a stunning show piece in any aquarium tank.  Long leaves with hammered indentations make for an exciting texture to add to the aquascapes.  The undersides of the leaves are a reddish purple that increase the beauty of this species.  Cryptocoryne usteriana is an easy to moderate plant to grow tolerating harder water than many aquarium plant species.  Native to the Philippines it has been a hard plant to find in many aquarium stores. Florida Aquatic Nurseries is now growing the aquarium plant Cryptocoryne usteriana.  It still might not be in every aquarium store but there is now a great source for it.
