CRINUM CALAMISTRATUM

CRINKLED, NARROW-LEAVED ONION PLANT

Crinums are members of the narcissus family and have a bulb that they can use to store nutrients. The deeply crinkled leaves of the Crinum calamistratum can grow up to 80 - 100 cm in length! Depending on the size of your aquarium, the upper leaf blades may produce flower stalks. They do not require particularly strong lighting, but gentle water flow, such as near to an outflow, promotes growth. Crinum calamistratum is best used on its own. This gives the most attractive results.
