So my crypt lutea that i got 2 days ago looks as if it shot out a runner. (Not literally ofcourse but there is another little plant growing right by it.
It looks like a root sticking out. I mean it could be a runner, I wouldn’t be surprised. I planted some leftover stems from a crypt I split and in like 2 days it sent up a random stem with a leaf.
It looks like a runner if you look closely there is like little lines coming out of it that look like they will be leaves
Are runners attaches to the plant? Just wondering because i want to move the runners into different areas of the tank and maybe my other tank.
If I zoom in closer the picture gets blurry. Can you take a clear picture? Idk what you mean by little line but the leaves on crypts come from the actual stem of the plant. They slowly start to unravel from the stem.
No, it probably just found its way up. You can bury it if you want. I normally just leave mine when that happens. It looks like it should.
It looks more healthy then mine. Just shove the root back in the gravel and it should be fine. Just make sure not to uproot the whole thing.
Ok just wanted to make sure. Got this and 2 other plabts a few days ago and they are my first plants i've ever had. I don't have any ferts though is that an issue?
Eventually, it will. They’re super slow growers. Itll get up to 6 inches. In my tank, 1 watt per gallon, gravel substrate, root tabs and weekly dosing. They grow 1 leaf a week.
