New addition – Cryptocoryne x purpurea (from Dennerle)

By keydoc in Emersed 0 Comment

Not a long time ago a friend of mine told me about Dennerle’s new stock item (maybe it is in a stock for a long time, but I had no idea). As an impatient person I ordered some and planted it during this weekend. It was in a plastic pot, in vitro culture, so I had plenty of plants. Some are in emersed setup and the rest (well, most of it) went into my tanks.

I am not much of in vitro plants fan, but lets see how it goes.

Gel culture plants arrived – C. pygmaea

The plan was to buy Cryptocoryne pygmaea from a small aquatic plant nursery. But the prize of gel culture plants was interesting so I also bought some Crypts I already have (the more the merrier, right?).

I could not find anyone else who was selling this Crypt in here. Sadly, it is quite common to sell Crypts under different names. Lets see what this Crypt truly is. I am going to give it a try in an emersed form.
