Crypt Wendtii Green

[Jeff]

My Crypt Wendtii Green's leaves are turning a brownish color, that I think isn't normal. All other plants are doing fine.

First shot is straight on. Second pic is a birds eye view. 

I dose Easy Green 2x per week in my 10 gallon, 20% water changes weekly. Substrate is Eco Complete.

Thoughts?

Are we using root tabs? Crypts are heavy root feeders, and benefit from root tabs greatly. Looks like some deficiencies that root tabs could help.

Trimming dying or damaged leaves can promote new growth.

No root tabs. Just Easy Green.

I guess it's time for another Co-op order.

As Candi mentioned they are very heavy root feeders, so you will want to get yourself some root tabs and place them in the gravel around your crypts. Also crypts can be very sensitive to changes. Do you just pour your water in over that crypt when you do water changes, because if you do it could be the temperature difference from the water change that hits the leaves and sends the plant into shock. If so try using a colander or your hand to disperse the water more evenly when adding it.
