Sure it can. This is how Herman always did when he planting his crypts, but i do preserve some old leaves.

Thanks for the information.

I have another question.

Can Cryptocorynes survive without leaves (only rhizomes) during planting?

Thanks

Hi Hock, welcome to my blog.

Cultivating this species is rather easy in both submerge and emerge. It will melt a bit in submerge but its grow back easily, the best way to prevent melting is plant em emerge and slowly increase water level. Rain water is ideal.

When you mentioned “Cultivation:Easy”, do you refer to emersed or submersed cultivation?

Thanks
