A quick update - 2 of the original 6 plants have survived. Here's a few pics.

The first is a Crypt ciliata (I think).


This other one I bought from AaronT, can't remember what is (sorry).


You can see in the pics that the HC is surviving, not growing much, but surviving. I've been keeping them on my back porch all summer, but I don't think they will survive the winter outdoors.

I think I sent you moehmannii and usteriana. It looks like the former in the picture. I can't tell from the picture for sure. Are the leaves bullate?

The leaves are smooth.

It's likely moehlmannii then.

I don't think the soil mix is optimal (although ciliata is usually found in pretty similar looking mud! ) - try several substrates next year for faster growth...

I'm mineralizing soil right now according to AaronT's directions. The plants will have to come inside for the winter, not sure how I'm going to accomplish that (need more space in my condo).
