Pretty sure I killed about a half dozen Green Geckos just to get these blurry pics! Stuff was surrounding the bas eof this crypt, and since I didn't want to dig up the albida, didn't get real deep on the gecko - pulled a ton of leaves and not a ton of root and rhizome. :(

Have to get a new tripod, was finally getting some decent shots and went and broke it.

Took forever to acclmate from being sprouted emersed by Ghazanfar. I think this is one of my favorite crypts, the leaves are just so neat! Almost striped, and this thing is orange on one side, green on the other.

Growing out good now, 5 leaves out.

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

Nice specimen man. Let us know if it propagates for you. It's not an easy one to get runners from.

Well, first, you be a cheapskate and buy the absolute cheapest littel tripod you can find with the thin little hollow metal legs....Then, you trip over one of the legs and fold it, since it is a 1/4" hollow little metal thing.


Next one will be a bit sturdier. ;)



Hope it does shoot runners eventually, such a cool plant!
