Yes, it is quite a nice crypt! Sorry to hear your plant isn't doing well. I've got mine potted up in 50% leaf compost and 50% ADA Amazonia. Since the tap water here is very very soft (KH < 1, GH < 3), I've just been using tap water in the setup now. I change the water out every month or so, and replace it with fresh water from the tap along with a little MirAcid (following the directions on the label). Thank you! Yes, it is quite a nice crypt!

You had given me a small plantlet of C. purpurea when NJAGC came down to visit you. I all but killed this little plant. I know its blackwater but I am curious how you potted it and if there is any fertilization. Spathe is stunning! Hey Ghaz!
