Sorry, that was a bit oblige! It's just a series of events which allowed Murphy's law (If something can go wrong, it will!) to bite me...

I wanted to take nice pics so I removed neighboring crypts and raised the water level (a few days before the planned foto session to allow the water to get clear again). Due to the good growth in a small plastic pot, the plant was top-heavy and turned upside down (no stabilization from neighboring pots).

I believe he still has a decent humidity in these tanks. Most emersed plants grow better if the humidity isn't approaching 100% since evaporation makes it much easier for a plant to transport nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

Thanks for clearing those Don't dos, Kai. Do you have any photos of your plants? I am interested to see how different people grow their crypts.

Sure, Edge (most are slides though - I need to take/resize some digital ones and will come back to you).

I'm confident that you'll like my blackwater set-up...
