General Description
Cryptocoryne crispatula var. kubotae, commonly known as Kubota's water trumpet, is an aquatic plant originating from Eastern Thailand. This narrow-leaved plant was initially confused with Cryptocoryne tonkinensis but has been recognized as a distinct variety of Cryptocoryne crispatula.

Aquascaping & Usage
Ideal for midground placement in aquascapes and suitable for nano tanks, Cryptocoryne kubotae enhances the aesthetic appeal of aquariums with its narrow leaves.
Propagation
Cryptocoryne kubotae propagates through methods such as runners, rhizome division, splitting, and cutting off daughter plants, allowing for the expansion of the plant within the aquarium.
