JoeQ Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I suddenly have all these sprouts, sprouting. I initially thought that they were Crypt Wendetii green since that was recently added. Now, however im thinking Crypt Lucent which I added last year, but since then it has only survived and never really thrived. Could this be a late Lucent bloom? What's the consensus of the community say? Wendtii, Lucent or other? Edited February 19, 2023 by JoeQ Fat fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theplatymaster Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 @JoeQit reminds me of lutea, but at this size it will be hard to tell. my question is; is it really that important? care of all crypts is pretty much identical, the only difference is size and color.

For my sanity it is! 😂 I could care less about modifying my care routine / water parameters for a specific plant. Id rather try a lot of plants and see who likes my soup best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few definitely look like Wendetii, one looks like a Lucens.. It's weird to me that dividing 1 huge Wendetii resulted in numerous baby sprouts appearing what seems like over night! Edit: saying over night is an exaggeration, in reality its a month plus...... AT LEAST!

AT LEAST! they can pop up anywhere once well established. i have tons of them in my 120, and looking underneath the tank, it looks like someone poured in a bowl of spaghetti with all the crypt roots. they go absolutely everywhere.

How do these sprout, from spores? And is it also just Wendetii Green? I have had many other varieties of Wendetii, and the only one to sprout this way has been the green variety.

lefty o Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 i think the roots just find where they want to pop up, and from there they sprout. the green and red wendetii do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
