They are sprouting now, that's what is confusing. Each crypt and anubias has a nice fresh green leaf or 2 or 3, and then over a week or so it the parts of the leaves that are catching light on a flat surface turn brown with slime.
I will initiate Blanketland tomorrow.
So am I cutting the light to upset the algae and stunt its growth, or am I putting the plants to sleep proper so they wake up and take off? Is it the low light that is causing this situation?
