Just bought wendtii tropica and was wandering in anyone has any pictures of there's or info on size.
Generally get mixed results when looking on the net regarding size and coloration . Thanks

Colour and leaf morphology and size can vary within each individual variety due to light, CO2 concentration, and competition - both intraspecific and interspecific. The little plant about a third in from the left at the front is the same variety as the tall ones at the back - C. wendtii 'Green', but it has no competition for light so there is no need for it to invest energy in growing tall - C.Wendtii 'Tropica' responds in the same way.

As for size - Troi allready said it; can change according to environment. Crypt. 'Tropica' is what I consider a medium-sized Crypt. in most conditions. That means about 10 - 20 cm. tall.
Troi's picture show very nice colour - usually I see Crypt. 'Tropica' doing a bit more hammered leaves with a black stripy colouration in leaf-plate.

I've just ordered one of these myself today from AE, so that's good to know.
