This plant kinda bothers me a bit, tho it is allegedly easy to grow large background crypt, if you give it time.. After doing some research i found also some articles stating it grows best in hard water..
Now my values are moderate
with GH and KH around 8 to 6 which actualy can't be more ideal.. But probably not for this crypt.
Give it time?? Ok, also a rather vague statement. What is that compaired to months??. Anyway in my non co2 tank this plant seems not want to grow.. As many crypts do it first melted away and from its new growth it made it only grew hardly 3 leaves about 3 cm in over 6 months time. Extra root tabs didn't do anything good.
What is it with this so called easy to grow plant? Should it be listed as "Does not grow at all in moderate water values" or are there other requirments to make it take of a little faster. Is this normal??
What are your experiences with this plant? Should i give it more time? I yet not decided, if i just should swap it with something more easy to grow..
