• UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING CRYPTOCORYNE MELT: All Cryptocoryne plants can be sensitive to changes in water parameters. Plants can experience leaf melt when introduced to a new tank or exposed to sudden changes in water parameters such as lighting pH GH KH temperature or fertiliser routines even established plants may melt due to environmental shifts pruning melted leaves helps the plant focus on new growth and with stable conditions it will typically recover and produce fresh leaves within a few weeks.
