Re: Crypts on Driftwood

[Zane Hovatter <greedbuddha at bellsouth_net>]

I run an LFS and have both seen and grown crypts on driftwood.  No, not 
Java, Windelov, Tropica,
Bolbitis or any other variety of fern... although it does suit me fine. 
But it's a situation more akin to
Anubias growth, lots of roots.  It does best in my experience if placed 
into some of the deeper crevices, with some periodic placing of Flourish 
Tabs (or the like) at its roots or if given enough depth, even some 
substrate.  No, I've never even tried the ol' tie down on the smooth 
branch style driftwood,
but given said nooks and crannies, it does just fine.  As a matter of 
fact one of the best crypt/driftwood plantings I've seen is in our 
Seachem rep Scott's Discus Tank at home.  Not often you get to see 
Wendtii, Undulates, Walkerii and the like being used as a background plant.
