Crypts go dormant? and grow?
I've had a great little crypt wenditti, grew big for 8 months, then
stopped... leaves started looking tattered, and edges started curling, then stopped growing... Pruned a little here and there over 3 or 4 weeks, but couldn't "kick" it to grow anymore.... so I left it... Yesterday, I noticed that I've got 12-15 runners, rhyzomes, whatever, growing about 6 inches from the parent plant... I left them, and will probably allow them to come in as they would, but I wondered, do they grow rhyzomes while in dormancy? Or did some pruning spur the growth? Flourite substate Dosed with flourish after every water change 55w over 29g Injected CO2, lower amounts pH of 6.8 |

Crypts are infamous for dying off and then growing back. Generally, it's a
change in the tank that causes it. Transplanting, pruning, a change in water parameters, etc., and the crypts might melt. Leave them alone, and they always come back. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

Full moons and negative thinking does it, too. I recently wrote about a red
wendt I'd completely forgotten ever having had that spontaneously remanifested itself in the middle of a clump of sags. LeighMo wrote in message ...

LOL! And don't forget, looking at 'em cross-eyed. Don't look at 'em cross-eyed, or they'll melt overnight. g Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

I dunno, for all the crypt hating that goes on, mine have never melted, and
they have been moved multiple times. They ddintt even melt after I recieved them, and they had been in the mail for 4 days, in cold New England weather. The anubias that came with them died in the mail, but the crypts are doing great. animal wrote: Crypts,you didn't say CRYPTS did you?
