Cryptocoryne Blog

This crypt is supposed to be one of the easiest blackwater species. It grows well, propagates fast via runners. However, it never flowered for me. Recently, I repotted this crypt into several pots, with a single plant per pot. The soil is 100% ADA Amazonia. I also added some laterite powder into the substrate. This week, two seperate plants decided to finally flower for me. This is the first one.

I received some new plants today from a good friend of mine who’s having incredible success with this species and variety.

The plants arrived in very good shape, with several runners already on there. I hope I’m as successful in growing this one as he is. Its a very attractive plant.
