Crypts are rather slow growing plants. I don't think trimming will speed up the growth.
Also I observed the same crypts can grow a little different under different tank conditions and temperatures.
Some of my crypts had grow new plant. The older plant had some tall leafs. I used to trim it even it is good and growing healthly.
1.Will crypts grow more leafs if i trim more ?
2.After trim, will the new leaf grow shorter then previously ht?
I have 3 different types of crypts (duno name), bought from Teo Farm, if i am not wrong one imported from China more expensive 3 stalks $10 while another about $1 each.Another from Boon keng at $4 each. All crypts are now heathly grown in my tank abt 3 mth

Cryptocoryne need much less trimming than other plants. I just trim them when they get too thick or the leaves are too old.
I don't think it'll speed up growth. The new leaves should grow to the same height and length as all other leaves.
actually, I had plant it infront of the tank. I duno if the light is too strong. Every now, old plant will usually melts but overall it is very healthy as new plants are already grown nearby it.Originally Posted by |squee|
By the way, KH at 2-3 alright for cryptocoryne Frame and fissiden moss with 4x2x2 36watt x 8nos x 4fts too strong? Temp at 26d.
Thanks
