crypt leaf curl?
Hi all,
I have several different crypts (wendtii, lutea, etc). they've been doing very well until recently, they seem to have started to "curl" their leaves. the leafs curl along the long axis of the stem, with the upper surface side out (sort of curling so the backside is on the inside of the curl)... although they are not totally curled up like a tube, but it's very obvious that the leaves are curling up. I assume this is some nutrient deficiency thing.. what is it indicative of? new leaves from the swords are nice and green, so I assume it's not iron deficiency.. linda |

It might be normal. My crypt leaves tend to curl when they get old and big.

crypt leaf curl?
isn't that part of the characteristic of a crypt? a wrinkled looking kinda
leaf? Mine do it, at the tip, and on the 1/8" edge of the leaf from stem to tip... unless mine are deformed too.. "linda mar" wrote in message ...

ok. that's good to know. it wasn't all that curled when I got them (wavy
edges, yes.. but not curling back), so.. I was wondering if something is happening to them that was not ideal. thanks! linda "350X_Rider" wrote in message ... isn't that part of the characteristic of a crypt? a wrinkled looking kinda leaf?

I"m posting a few crypt pics on the binaries group, or you can see them here
at www.etcvsg.com/images/Buddy 2 are somewhat smaller, but the larger one is a good pic of the curling....
