So I purchased this Crypt tonight at a local Meijers store for 5 bucks. It says it was a Crypt Wendtii bronze.

Is that a healthy plant? What is it that makes the crypts leaves look rather.. melted?

And what the heck am I supposed to do with these roots lol

 

[Abrium]

trim the roots to entice growth, make them about 3" long. That plant will bounce back just fine as long as you provide it with what it needs. It is looking fine though.

 

[Blackheart]

can I plant it in the substrate though just like that?

 

[Jeffww]

Remove the pot and rockwool. I'd save the rockwool...I regret throwing all mine away now that I've realized I had a use for it in emersed set ups....

 

[Blackheart]

no what i meant was can I plant that huge root in the substrate just like that?

 

[Jeffww]

Yes. Cutting it will make your life easier though.

 

[Blackheart]

It won't harm it?

 

[Jeffww]

no. Not at all.
