I have crypts right now that are hanging on for dear life. All the leaves are melting. I have moved them around so that is probably the cause. I'm afraid they might just disappear.
I pulled two up and saw that they had each formed several fine roots and they had gravel adhered to the roots. The gravel is Schultz Aquatic Plant Soil., and they have been in this tank for one week.
Why is the gravel attached to the roots? Is this a good sign? I'm thinking that it is because the roots are using the gravel elements to reduce nutrients for absorption. If this is so it looks like these plants will survive.
