Hi all,
I was visiting a local fish shop, and came across what felt like too good a bargain to miss: £1 for tatty potted plants. On closer inspection, i could see a fair few crypts in there. I bought 5, and then was kicking myself all night for not having a few more. Well, I jumped out of bed the next day, and returned with:
24 Crypts, an Echinodorus and an anubias rhizome!
Now, Currently I have them in a propagator with water about half way up the pots, and an old tank light on like so:
Is there anything I should be doing differently to try and grow these crypts on? At £30 for all the plants and the propagator, I wont be too upset if this experiment doesn't work, but the opportunity for essentially £100 of free plants nearly had my eyes bulging out of my head when i saw them in the LFS!
