Callatya Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 for 2 months. A huge big clump of the stuff in a chinese container. I had intended to sell it or toss it as it just kicks up such a stink when i move it around. It melted, but it melted about 2 weeks after it was sitting in the box, and you know what, after 2 months, when i figured it was dead enough for me to toss without feeling guilty, I get the little sucker out, and lo and behold, its sprouted!? In stinky 2 month old crypty melt water! yuck, and wow! Its now resting in my 3' temperate tank until I have room to set up my new planted. I know its not greatly exciting, but I honestly thought crypts were very moody. tough when they were growing well, but if you upset them, i figured they'd die just to spite you. I found it very interesting when these ones clung to life ) What strange things have your plants survived, or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 my crypts seem to survive just about everything, including juvenile severums nibbling on them. But I am totally running low on java moss, I just noticed. Weird, it used to grow so well I could have chicked handfuls of it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I just don't get this plant. A tiny variation and it falls to bits, but leave it in a box of its own filth, and it goes OK, lets get on with it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
