My update... If you look very carefully at the left side of the plant, you'll see a small leaf. That is a baby C. Bullosa!

Here's the monthly update for my C. bullosa. Got a new leaf coming up. Newer leaves are showing the signature bullation. Just added a tiny bit of root tab to the substrate today. We'll see if it makes a difference in growth. Previously was just spraying a very dilute liquid fert on the leaves and water whenever I would remember. This plant still has a lot of growing to do before it's a respectable size.

Gus I have some bullosa, uenoi and keei coming in the next week or so and I was wondering what your experiences with new AS Amazonia are I don't have enough used to go around but I do have used Malaya and I can mix other items in if it helps to age it. I know the Amazonia 2 was an ammonia nightmare but I'm not sure about the new stuff. Let me know what your thoughts are I don't want to set these back just because I used the wrong substrate to start. I do know new Malaya is a no no but used is much better, lol. Lots of experience with that combo...

Hi Len,

Ive had good results from using new AS Amazonia for emersed crypts. I was forced to use it because like you I didn't have a whole lot of used stuff laying around. Surprisingly the crypts haven't melted when transplanted into the new AS. If they have melted, I've attributed it to the plant being in a poor state to start with and probably would have melted regardless of what media it was transplanted into. Seems like crypt roots are very tolerant of different conditions, but their leaves are not.

Now I can tell you never add new AS to an established submersed tank. It will definitely melt your crypts!

Decided to update the status of my C.bullosa. Plant is doing well with larger leaves coming in. Haven't touched the ferts or water since the last update.

Is this plant huge now?
