Cryptocoryne elliptica propagation success!
November 30th, 2008
Ok, this is the last update on the Cryptocoryne elliptica plantlets. I’ve demonstrated how Cryptocoryne elliptica can be successfully propagated via its leaves. Almost 6 weeks since I started, the plants are now strong and large enough to be planted into individual pots, which I’ve done today. Here’s a picture of the container just prior to me pulling these plants out. Roots are not visible in this picture, but each plant has multiple 2″+ roots and appears to be growing vigorously.
Side note: I pulled some additional leaves off my mother plant last week and those are now rooted already. This is not a common crypt by any means, and if I can propagate some more out, I’ll be able to share it with my fellow crypt enthusiasts.
