No mate; they're both in a tank. This one is a different E.rubra; much smaller than yours. It flowers it socks off but has always been rather small emersed. I'm going to try re-potting when I get time into a larger pot and using some aquasoil to see if that makes it grow larger.

I've done it by potting them in a plastic pot and then putting them in a glass jar filled with water and allowing the water to slowly evaporate. By keeping the water topped up and slowly allowing it to drop steadily then the plant produced emersed leaves.

Two guesses. Either the water was too warm and killed the yeast or you got old, rubbish yeast! I've found the little tubs of cheap bread yeast the best so far, rather than the little packs - don't know why! Did you also put baking soda in? It helps keep the CO2 production going IME.

Why not rig up a DIY CO2 kit to pump CO2 into the propagator to get some fresh 'air' in? One of my profs at uni was looking at the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on terrestrial plants and he found levels up to twice todays levels produced great effects with plant growth! Might be worth a...

You could just put a pipe and spraybar on one of the powerheads you were on about couldn't you? Either way I wouldn't do it if you're going away. Might help your submersed crypts transition to emersed growth too. Or get a cheap fogger? For pots Clark you could use little separate ones or...

I'd stick them in pots and just cover the pots by an inch or so. The submersed leaves will lay flat on the surface and then the plants should send up some new emersed leaves which will grow up out of the water. You can then lower the water level when they get going. Thinking about it maybe...

On APC there are loads of guys who grow their crypts emerse simply in plastic or net pots filled with Aquasoil or other aquatic soil/substrate and simply in tanks with water anywhere from halfway to up to the rim of the pots. The crypts grow well and flower like this. Some add small pumps to...
