Just about every crypt plants will show signs of distress or melt away when first planted. Some of my leaves withered away but bounced back a few weeks later.
Its only been in my tank a couple months. Its growing well but all the new leaves are curled up like this. Read another post that said it might just be from a change in environment. Maybe it will straighten out soon.
Mine does that too. If you don't like how it looks, every plant needs pruning at some time. Slowly, 1 leaf at a time, cut a leaf down to the gravel and a new fresher looking one will grow to take it's place.
Thanks all. I will give it some time and a little trim and see what happens. Just worried I was missing some sort of fertilizer. Hoping for some of those beautiful crinkled leaves, not ones that look like cigars!
