After snipping off the leaves, don't touch them. Even when you don't see anything happening, don't pull out the roots. They will come back to life if the substrate is to their liking, i.e., good fertile one.
Thanks bro! I will be do that. I am using GEX soil, I wonder it is fertile enough?
it doesn't need fertile soil. i plant mine in sand without base ferts
It is possible to grow them with plain gravel. I have done it before with the plants you have as well. The difference between plain gravel and fertile substrate is the size of the leaves you get.
And with a 1year old tank, there is enough mulm and decomposed stuff in the gravel to keep them growing.
Add root monsters or root tabs, then you get the bigger leaves.
I also had some crypts (not sure of which variant but it's very greenish though) planted in just normal lapis sand. All the leaves have melted and new leaves sprouted. No liquid fertilizers, no CO2 and no lights. But however this tank was placed beside a lighted tank.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
