I'm switching from a gravel substrate to a sand substrate and have a question about transplanting crypts.
I know that they're a delicate plant and that their leaves can and will melt if they are not happy. What is the best way of transplanting a crypt to avoid this happening? Taking the crypt out and disrupting the substrate and root system will understandably stress the plant a bit, and I want to avoid it dying on me because it's done very well up to this point. I want to save as much of it as I can.
Any tips? I've attached a picture of it.
