alanmin4304 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 The problem with identifying crypts is that the leaves can vary so much depending on growing conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 The problem with identifying crypts is that the leaves can vary so much depending on growing conditions. Agreed, I was showing someone wendtii green today in 3 different tanks with 3 different lighting systems and 3 different fertiliser regimes and they all look totally different. But if I had to guess I would probably go with wendtii green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJeff Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks for all the replies - I checked what I originally bought (I was nerdy enuff to write them down at the start - not quite nerdy enuff to record where I planted them) I planted crytp - undulatus, walkeri, petchii, wendtii, & balansae. Now it is all growing fantastically & I am enjoying it way more than pruning stem plants all the time - I now intend to plant the rest of my tanks with crypts and the odd sword - just might have to pot luck it all.

supasi Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Beckettii is supposed to have darker under side of leaves. Petchii is similar to Beckettii My money goes toward or Wendtii as its definately not Balansae. Although as suggested it can very hard to ID crypts unless flower is seen.
