lhb555 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I recently purchased a Crinum Calamistratum from Aquarium Coop. It arrived with only three leaves, two of which were in bad shape and one that was broke but was still green. Today I found the last one floating in the tank. My question is with all the leaves gone will the bulb produce more or is it dead. It is currently still in the basket it came in in an Aquarium Coop planter. I put a couple of root tabs in the rock wool and use the Aquarium Coop easy green fertilizer. Edited July 17, 2021 by lhb555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 With the crinum being a bulb plant it is almost prone to loosing leaves when they first get introduced into a new enviourment. I know mine did. But give it a few weeks and you'll start seeing little sprouts starting to sprout. If after a few weeks and the leaves dont pop up, contact customer service. I'm sure @Candi will take good care of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhb555 Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yeah, I was planning on leaving it in there for a while. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with one losing all it's leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefConfit Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It should be fine. In my experience crinum take a few weeks to settle in before they start to get noticeable growth. I've moved mine 4 or 5 times now and every time it loses a few leaves and takes a few weeks to settle in. I also find they do much better in high flow so mine is usually right by the filter outlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
