    Wow. I like the undulating patterns on the leaves.

    Roland: I see you like to put moss together with the crypts. Any reason? Prevent drying up of the soil? BTW - what soil combination are you using? Any fertiliser sticks?

    Cheers!

    hi juggler,

    i use a little sphagnum moss at the bottom to prevent fine particles from leaking.

    I use coral chips and compost for this species, in proportion of 20-70. The 10% is the sphagnum moss.

    It is probably not available in singapore, although its not really a very rare species. I got by exchanging with oversea friends.

    Oriental farm do not produce or import it as its probably not a very ideal plant for common aquarium. Sphanum moss is dried type, you can find it at nurseries. Life java moss is possible too.

    Hello guys,

    I was the happy owner of a submerged hudoroi forest, but this plant is really sensitive to temperature variations..





    When winter was coming, some electric cuts melted them...



    A pity.

    Nice emerged plant you have lorba.

    Hey Xema,
    Long time no "hear".
    I trust the new year finds you well and your crypts growing well! (other than the C. Hudoroi)
    And thanks for the pointer on the temperature sensitivity of this species.

    Thanks for your words quite appreciated.
    Plants are growing fine, even hudoroi, that is recovering of the melting.
