Has My Crypt Lutea Already Shot Out A Runner?

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.

 

Those are roots.

 

Should i be concerned?

 

Also does my crypt lutea look ok? Is it healthy?

 

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?

 

Probably when they get bigger and established. You can add a few root tabs for the crypts.

 

Its in a 10 gallon so would it grow to be decent cover?

 

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.

 

That's not required right? You just want them to grow a little quicker.

 

Yup, to have the nutrients they need.

 

"

"Yup" as in it is required?

 

Not required. Yup to wanting my plants to grow faster.
