clockwork Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 just wondering if any plant experts can advise me on how to get more bang for my buck out of crypt parva. ive had this little plant for a year or so and it has really filled out quite a bit. my question is this: can i split the plant at the roots into a couple smaller plants and expect it to live? i have seen these plants used as a really nice foreground carpet and can't seem to find them any where... so if you can answer this question, have spotted any c. parva or have some you wouldnt mind parting with let me know!

jvision Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Each plantlet can be separated as long as it has some roots. I haven't seen it in stores for a really long time - the last time I saw some was a couple ACE auctions ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Um... maybe you need to give some of it to us so we can experiment with propagating it too. :smokey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockwork Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 i take it this is a sought after plant, i had no idea it was so special when i originally bought it. i am gonna try splitting it pretty soon. maybe in a few months ill have some plants to sell.

Vallisneria Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Doesn't it just send out runners like other crypts? Cut the connector root and each will be its own plant, then give the babies to me :smokey: Edited March 8, 2008 by degrassi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I think I saw some in Pisces yesterday - wasn't labeled, but I'm pretty sure it was C. parva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
