Hi Mike,
awesome pictures! I hope I can visit some of the places in November.
If you don't find any Crypts in New Guinea - I will be interested in pictures from your trip by all means!

The Crypt. fusca which I collected from Kalimantan Barat is doing well in my "Crypt tank". The tank is covered by using plastic cover, but now I'm opened for photography purpose:




I cut off all the leaves before I brought back to Sarawak (in case custom officer question me for bringing plant back from Kalimantan without permit) but now all the leaves are grown back....within one month period!

Just planted my Crypt sp. "Batang Ai"....




The Crypt. sp. "Batang Ai" which I collected from the first collection (last year) was melt (all the leaves) when my tank was full of water after the heavy rainfall but now the leaves are slowly growing back.....and I pray that it'll flower as soon as possible in order to find out what it is.

Hey mike all this crypt could be grown in and out of water right??(not sure what the term is.. ) because im currently looking for plants which could grow out of water....from the subtrate in the tank.. all i have now is amazon sword..

Yes, can grow in emersed condition but the humidity must be high else the leaf of the Crypt will dry up.

So high pressure spray bars(u know those that make the fog thing) or fog generators are recomended?? U know it ain't all Cool and humid in this part of msia..~
