Cryptocoryne lingua – thriving

Cryptocoryne lingua (in my temporary window setup)

I got my C. lingua 3 months ago. It had 2-3 leaves for a long time. I was really surprised when I saw it making this nice “rosette”.  I am curious whether it will last (I am a bit skeptic).

(Photo is quite blurry, I will try to find a better one).

Oh, and also my H. pinnatifida grows well (It shares a pot with my C. affinis).

Cryptocoryne lingua – A new addition to my small collection

Recently (March 17, 2013) , I got Cryptocoryne lingua from a friend. The collection is growing slowly but surely. I am really happy about it. Now I will try to get a bit more expensive Crypts.

For this spring and summer I also plan to re-do my emersed setup. Oh, and when the snow melts down I hope to get C. pygmaea (it is sold under this name, so I hope it truelly is pygmaea… we shall see!)
