Cryptocoryne elliptica
September 14th, 2008
Cryptocoryne elliptica is the only crypt known to be able to propagate from a leaf cutting – similar to African Violets. I received this plant from Aaron talbot a few months ago. After a short period of growth, the plant melted – I thought I’d lost it. But it came back – here’s a recent picture.
Once it has a few more leaves, I intend to try and propagte some out via leaf cuttings. Should be fun!
It will be nice trying a cutting leaf propagation. I tried in the past with another crypts under controled environment, without success.
