Re: [GSAS-Member] crypt melt!



Hi Meredith,

 

I agree with Doran and Shango, "crypt melt" is not uncommon when they are
moved.  I'm not sure if the exact reason is known, the two theories I hear
most often are "exposure to air" and "change in water parameters".  I have
the same thing happening with crypts that I purchased at the plant auction.
Most of them are down to one or two leaves left, one is down to crown only!
I just leave them alone, clean up the melted pieces, dose with ferts for the
other plants in the tank, and wait.  If anyone knows any shortcuts, or how
to avoid this in the future, please post some suggestions.

 

Roy
