I don't use apc nearly as often as I do PT. I will share some of my favorite crypt blogs on here today!

Ok awesome. I use tapatalk so it's easy to browse both forums. Only thing is it seems not a lot of people use apc regularly

I use Tapatalk for all my pics & almost all of the time on my phone. I usually prefer the web version if I'm on my iPad unless I'm posting pics. Haha... I use apc for reading, but rarely post just because it isn't as active.
Here are some of the crypt pages I've enjoyed reading or browsing through pictures.
Side note: None of these are my websites. I've tried to list the author, if it is site kept by a single person & easily found.
The Cryptocoryne section of Aquaria.net

If I think, or find, more as I continue reading more about Crypts. I will add them to this list! Maybe having easy access to a list like this will help inspire more people to keep Crypts! I know several of these pages, along with many threads here on PT were instrumental in fueling my passion for crypts.

I've been checking to see if either spathe has opened but it's not happened yet. I definitely want to catch it if it happens! I threw my back out last Monday so I've been pretty limited in my mobility & heavily medicated since then but super busy with school. It was nice to get a little break, which means I have spent a ton of time reading about crypts over the weekend! I would like to start watching out for some of the "rare" crypts, maybe less common would be a better term. I'm thinking about some of the C. cordata variations such as 'rosanervig', KR01, 'flamingo' as well as some of the affinis var. & perhaps some C. "Kota tinggi." Although, I really would add almost any crypt to the collection! I see no reason to limit my options! lol.
I think that I'm going to chop up some Xmas moss and spread it out on the substrate surrounding most of my crypts. I noticed how nice it looks to have moss in the pot in some other folks pictures. Haha...

I was watching YouTube videos earlier with crypts with moss on the substrate In the pots. Looks awesome!!! And apparently moss acts as a natural insecticide

I noticed this morning when I flipped on the lights that one of the spathes appeared to be open toward the top. I didn't have a chance to get a closer look, as I've got a my last bio test today(before my finals mon & tues). I will take a closer look this evenings nice I've finished up! I can't wait to be done with this summer semester! So much stress will be gone soon!!

Well, neither spathe has opened. They a both larger then the last time I really checked on them. I will keep checking! Late last night(wide awake about 4am) was really the first chance I've had to sit down and check out the new growth on my emersed tanks in at least a week or two! I am really pleased with how things are looking! Lots of new crypt growth!
Earlier in the week I noticed the Anubias nana in the 20L was beginning to produce a bloom!
Now, time for tons of pictures!

That Anubias is huge. I'm looking to add some different Anubias varieties to my set up as well

Damn! I totally meant to send you a couple rhizome trimmings! This was a piece that broke off the large one in my 55 last time I rearranged it. The parent plant is massive yet can't be seen unless you start digging through all the java fern! I just realized that I listed this plant incorrectly this morning, it's not a nana but an A. barteri var. barteri. I originally purchased this at my lfs as a coffeefolia but figured out it wasn't. I've gotta pull some java fern for a trade in a bit, I'll try to snap a couple pictures of the big one!

It's done alright, I don't think it likes the times when the tank's humidity level drops between mistings.
