Cryptocoryne elliptica propagation success!

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.
