Phillip Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Looks like my crypt is shredded. That shredded part used to be a leaf. Is it dying? Should I cut that part off? Brand new to plants here lol Edited January 18, 2021 by Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This is normal. They are freshly planted and converting to your tank parameters...known often as "crypt melt". They COULD melt back to the ground and come back strong a month later. I had one I planted, decided to move to a different tank, ripped out, and 3 months later I had healthy crypts at that location coming back from roots I left behind. The leaves don't mattter at all, the roots are getting established and then they will take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Your plant is melting, and its completley normal. You can cut the stem off or just leave it and it should fix itself. Just give it a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
