Amazing. Does the Crypto-dome have a dome/cover to keep humidity, or is it open air? Thank you.

It´s closed to keep higth humidity. Thanks for your comments...

First one, thanks for your comments...

Second one, going to the theme that you want know...

Growing crypts in a outdoor set up, it´s a easy and cheap way to keep them, of course if the weather of your country is soft.

I was keeping keei and bullosa, both melted. In bullosa case, I tried to keep it submerged, but didn´t grow well... I think you must grow it in a sandy and acid soil and fast water flow will be fine. In keei case, I haven´t enought experience to send any advise... For the next time when I would get it... I will try keep in a sandy and neutral soil, with neutral bottom water and with fast flow.

You are a lucky man, not many people can go to collect that wonderful plants and enjoy with their habitats.

Some pics of the 2 keei that I receiveed lastly

Will be looking forward to pickup some useful information from you.

Fast flowing water? hmm. Then i must setup a bigger tank?
