How do you tell the difference between Green Crypt & Green Gecko Crypt?

What about Crypt Bronze and Red Crypt?

I have several species, but I'm not sure what they are because they look like several species at the same time.

Thanks,
James

Green Crypt wendtii is, well, green. The plant in the pic was sold to me as a 'Green Gecko'. This plant gives me some reds and yellows along with green.


I'm not 100% sure, but I think the red and bronze are the same plant.

Hi jamesstill84,

I have to agree with cah925, my C. wendtii 'Red' and 'Bronze' are the same color in my tanks.
