Crinum Calamistratum (Crazy Hardy Aquarium Plant)
NOTE: The photos labeled “AS OF 6/30/25” are DUSTIN’S PICKS! You will receive one of the plants that are in the photos. You do not get to pick which one.
THESE WON’T LAST – THEY ARE BIG!
A Small plant is under 5 inches with 5 or 6 leaves around an inch.
A Medium plant is between 5 and 7 inches with up to 10 leaves.
A Large plant has a thicker base and well over 10 leaves (and shouldn’t be missed).
If you want a unique looking plant for contrast in your tank, Crinum Calamistratum is that plant. It has ridged, kinda skinny, ruffled leaves. I have kept this plant for a number of years and have even debated just keeping it alone all by itself. It does take a second to establish.

This plant adds a unique visual contrast to my tank. The ruffled leaves stand out and give the aquarium a more dynamic look. It’s grown well over the past year and is now a centerpiece in my setup.

Received a large plant and it’s impressive. The leaves are thick and have a nice texture. It took a few weeks to settle, but now it’s thriving. Great for adding depth to a planted tank.

The plant arrived healthy and looks good in the tank. It’s not the fastest grower, but it’s unique and adds character. I’m happy with the look, though it needs some time to establish.
