Planting and care tips

Remove the basket and rockwool carefully before planting. Bury the roots in aquarium substrate, keeping the crown above the substrate. Crypts may temporarily lose leaves after shipping or a change in water conditions (often called crypt melt). If the roots remain healthy, new submerged leaves can develop as the plant adjusts.
