Hello all. I would just like to show you my Crypt collection which I potted in August 2007. Still no flowers. I have it growing in a tank that I have filled the bottom with dried Magnolia leaves, covered that with Florabase and some sand. I placed the tank under some T5 lights.
This was the original list of Crypts,
Cryptocoryne albida
Cryptocoryne cordata var 'blassii'
Cryptocoryne willissii
Cryptocoryne parva
Cryptocoryne willisii
Lagenandra ovata
Lagenandra thwaitesii
I have lost the
Lagenandra ovata from this tank. There is a possibility that I have one cutting growing well else where but it could be
L. thwaitesii.
The plants have been battling aphids and I have been treating them successfully. I also started feeding the plants only recently, in the last month or so.
So, I have some crypts that are looking healthy and happy, and others that are not.
The sick ones Are my two
Crypt cordata var 'blassii' one which I put in a lower lighting situation since I also have this same one growing very large in a vivarium with low lighting.
The other I planted in another tank. One of the L. thwaitesii is also doing poorly, while the other seems to be recovering from an earlier downfall. I hope it does. The others are doing ok.
Another factor that I believe contributed to this tough time I am having with these plants is that I got a bloom of blue green algae that grew like crazy and covers the new leaves if given a chance. So naturally the taller species were better off.
Is there any hope left for flowers???
