It is not that difficult.
Used to grow them in my tank =)
Nice crypts.

bro wacky, thanks for sharing! Glad to know someone grew it successfully in tank. I think my is the sg variety. Btw, what were your tank parameters then? My ph is 6, kh 2, gh 4, 26c, light 3.5w/g
Hi,
I can't recall as i last grow them a year ago.
Where you got them?
From c328 off the shelf or you ordered it?
I recall it will grow big.

off the shelf supplied from cryptoandbetta.blogspot.com.
If you purchased it off the shelf supplied from cryptoandbetta.blogspot.com, it could be from Mersing / Pahang / Bintan. I thought they usually also state the locality information on the packet? If the leaves have red spots should be the Mersing varient. I do not grow cryptocorynes submersed so will not be able to provide any input to your question above. However, if you have a photograph of it when you just bought it, I might be able to help you guess its location of origin, provided you are interested in knowing.
I checked from the website that its looks more like bintan one. Btw, whats the natural habitat parameters? Does nurii need hard water with high light and co2 to do well?
btw, there is no locality stated on packaging. Just written cryptocoryne nurii.
According to his website, the pH of the natural habitat looks low (i.e. less than 5). I do not think you will need hard water to grow them and I thought all plants will generally grow well with high lights and CO2?
Good to hear that it will survive under slightly acidic soft water conditions.
bro wacky, how big did you say it will become? I am putting it in foreground now and hope it grows to around 15cm tall only. Is c.keei a better choice?
Keei gets much bigger...
Thanks bro ranma, guess I will wait and see if my Nurii can survive first...
Guys, it looked like the sg bintan locality species: http://cryptoandbetta.blogspot.com/search/label/C.%20nurii%20%20P.Bintan
The specimens from this locality is quite easy to grow in emersed conditions from my experience. Not sure about submersed though.
just relocated my nurii and noticed that new roots are growing Had planted some keei as well
Both my nurii and keei are growing new leaf buds, cheers!
Congratulation. take some photographs of them to show us when you are free!!!
thanks, will post one soon
Be careful with the C Nurri, it's super sensitive to changes in environment. Esp make sure it's not shaded by light. I grew mine submersed for more than a year, leaves open up nicely with red dots on new leaves. However, dun expect it to be bushy, I had on average only 2-3 leaves at only 1 time with wilting and new leaf. It did not grow new shoots, unlike my C Griffithi.
Cheers!
waiting to see photos
