Hi, very nice pics, are you still active in cultivating crypts, would be very keen to try! Thanks

Hi, yes I am still cultivating but my collection has reduced tremendously due to my poor cultivation skills.

Hi, glad to hear that, would you have some advices, do's and don'ts ? Planning to try at small scale in semi humid tank with a plastic lid to retain humidity! What soil mix would you recommend?
