I have a 240 litre tank with the Fluval Roma Plant 3.0, pressurised CO2 and EI fertilisation.
I want to get some more crypts - C.balansae v.crispatula probably, plus a couple of smaller ones. I don't know whether to go for the potted version or the Tropica 1-2 grow version as they're available in both.
The only in vitro plant I've had before has been the Tropica 1-2 grow C.wendtii green. It has done amazingly well, which makes me lean towards tissue culture, but maybe it's just because it is a naturally easy to grow plant!
I would get the plants from Aquarium Gardens i.e. held emersed, so their potted plants are probably snail free aren't they? So it mainly comes down to which would thrive better, are better value etc. I've heard crypts often melt so if they're going to lose their leaves anyway might tissue culture be better, more cost effective with more smaller plants etc?
Thanks in advance!
