  • Enjoyed the video and it was really helpful to me; when planting these 'potted' plants, I would never separate them and I was also told NOT to trim the roots of crypts. How was the success of these crypts? I have a planted tank (55 gal.) of 8 Cryptocoryne crispatula, 2 Aponogeton fenestralis, 1 Lotus (tiger lily?), 1 crypt with red beneath its leaves, several smaller green crypts and Microsorium pterus. Any advice on transplanting C. crispatula?

  • @DrowDove3 Hi and thanks for watching. These plants grew on very well - have a look at our aquascape journals online or our other YouTube videos. Or call in store to see our displays for yourself - we are open Tuesday to Saturday 10am-6pm and are based in Wrexham in the UK.

  • Hi there! I was wondering what's the reason for trimming the roots? I'm just getting started with crypts. That mineral wool is so annoying to remove!
