crypt leaves

My crypt leaves are curling back on themselves. IS this normal? Also, many are developing holes, which I can only assume is a nutrient deficiency or water quality issue.

Can anyone provide some insight?

Are they pin holes? It sounds like a mineral defficiency....most likely potassium.

Much larger than pin hole size. And what about the curling? Is that a potassium issue also? Should I just load the area up with Flourish tabs?

Thanks guys. Potassium seems to be the consensus. I had hoped to avoid the whole NPK thing, but it looks like I'm headed down that path regardless.

Yes, leaf curling is also a mineral defficiency. Sorry, I should have mentioned that too.
