uhhh....dude...it looks like it's on death row. maybe not. As long as there's no melting it should be ok.

Ive got laterite but it may be too far down for the roots to reach since they are new. I might try the seachem tabs but I will probably just wait and see what happens. Will post and update...thanks!

I would just wait. They don't look like you have much invested in them really

Sir_BlackhOle · 03-12-2004, 03:01 PM

Nope they came from the LFS and were in pretty bad shape. The leaves are still intact and are not melting. We will see what happens

Thanks for the input everyone!

Just thought I would post an update. All the wendtii is doing great! All of the new leaves are dark bronze color. There is one or two old leaves that are still green, but the plant is growing well and healthy looking. I guess it must be wendtii bronze or something.

Sorry to bump this topic back up...

But I jsut saw some wendtii considered to be bronze in an display tank. They looked really nice but the store didn't offer them in their for sell tank. If I was to find wendtii var bronze...is it something i should keep and why are the leaves on the bronze soo much lighter colored(in bronze ofcourse) then the picture in the above post?

I dont really know if I have bronze or not. Just a guess. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will answer this question?

C. wendtii "bronze" is just another variety of wendtii. C. wendtii is a very varied species and you will find leaf color depends on the variety and the environment.
