So last saturday my husband and I were out in a town where there was petsmart, I went in and looked over their 'tube plants'. I saw some above them that were in little ziploc type bags. I've wanted to get a crypt wendtii but LFS doesnt have access to them, and I really didn't want to pay to have one shipped to me. So I took a chance and bought it. It was $9, I thought it was just one bigger plant but it turned out to be 4 smaller plants in the bag. So I separated them and it two sort of close together. I did this in two places, one is doing really well and the other is so so. On Sunday I had the idea the inject some liquid ferts Ive been using directly in the sand under where they crypts are planted. I think this has done the trick until I am able to order some root tabs, I think it's grown myself! and my lighting on my tank was an idea I came up with to avoid paying a lot of money for a light fixture. I had seen threads where memebers mentioned they were using cfl's bought from lowes/home depot that were daylight 6500k bulbs. So what I did was I bought some clip on lamps and bought he correct wattage for the lamp in the daylight bulbs and so far it's worked just fine for me thankfully!
This was saturday night after we got home and planted it as soon as we got home.
Sunday afternoon; before I had the idea to inject the liquid ferts in the sand.
Monday night after the I injected the liquid ferts into the sand.
And finally today after injecting more liquid ferts last night.
