	Flowering Crypts?
Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	How hard is it to get Crypts to flower? I have had it happen twice at work. I am not really doing too much for them. Good light, and excel. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

I remember reading that it could take up to a year for them to do this under these conditions- they are left in one spot, not being moved all of the time good water quality no sudden changes in light, temperature, ph, etc.

This last one has to runners and one of the runners had two flowers. The plant has only been in this spot for maybe a couple of months now but lighting and such is pretty regular. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric
