Plant Sizes

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.

One of the rarest of all the Crypts, Cryptocoryne amicorum is a cultivar plant that has bladed leaves that can come in a range of colours from brown to green and sometimes even a shade of purple. As with all Crypts not much light is needed, CO2 isn't essential but growth will be highlighted with CO2 rather than without it.

Cryptocoryne amicorumThis great little plant is easy to maintain making it great for beginners. Plant in a group of two or three for the best effect.

Understanding Crypt melt - all Cryptocoryne species require stable water parameter and light conditions. Once planted, Crypts should not be moved otherwise it can trigger what is called Crypt melt. If a Crypt has a significant change of environment (ph, kh , gh, lighting intensity or duration, root disturbance etc), Crypt melt can be triggered. The leaves start to disintegrate as the plant prepares for its new environment - DO NOT WORRY! Your plant will begin to grow back over the next 30 days (sometimes sooner, sometimes later) - it's still very much alive and busy getting ready for the growth of new leaves. In the meantime, any decaying leaves should be trimmed and recycled in a compost bin.

Review

I was setting up a new nano tank, and bought crytocoryne amicorum together with a few other (small) plants. Being a complete novice to the whole \'planted aquarium\' hobby, I didn\'t really know what to expect, but was pleased when these beautiful little plants arrived through my door in excellent condition. Wasting no time at all, I set up my little tank.

I was dismayed when the next day, the plant wasn\'t looking quite so healthy. 48h after planting it was looking positively terminal, together with the other cryptocoryne that I\'d bought.

Oh no!

I emailed Aqua Essentials for advice, but got no response, so did my own research and discovered that \'crypt melt\' isn\'t uncommon when moving these plants. In fact, it\'s very common. So, I embraced patience and sat back in the hope that they would recover.

Well, it took a long time, but the plants did recover. The first sign was about a week after planting, when I saw a tiny new leaf protruding from the melted mess. A few days later, I saw another. It\'s now three weeks later, and both of my crypts have lots of new leaves and seem to be growing nicely.

Phew!

So, it would have been nice if I\'d known this before purchasing (perhaps some info with the plant description) but at least there\'s a happy ending.

Lovely plant, plants bought from Aquaessentials are always (in my experience) examples which are in the best of health. I have yet to see a poor plant from this company.

Lovely plant. It looks great at the front of my newly planted tank.

When I got it out of the pot I managed to split it into two good sized plants too.

These had been in the post a week due to the vageries of Royal Mail, but still arrived in perfect condition. Good Dutch plants somewhere betwween Crypt parva and lucens, I guess. They don't melt as rule and make a great foreground plant if you're patient.
