This is the plant: Its doing awesome. I seperated this mother plant into 7 small plants.
Now, I am trying to decide, is it Cryptocorne Beckettii "Petchii"
or is it Cryptocorne Wendtii "Green"?

Looks like Wendtii Green. Nice one. They can get surprisingly big. I have one that's about 8" tall in a huge grove probably about 30-40 leaves.

While they don't need it if they are put under good light they go nuts, grow very large and surprisingly quickly.Once it's done this it will start to send runners all over the place.

Personally I wouldn't have seperated them The reason it was doing awesome was probably because there were so many plants together. Crypts seem to grow faster and better this way plus IMO they look their best in a thick grove. You may find the individual plants grow a bit slower.

Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.

Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
