Allow room around each plant for new growth, and avoid moving it frequently once planted.
About Crypt Melt
Crypts may lose some existing leaves as they adjust to a new aquarium. Remove deteriorating leaves and leave healthy roots and the crown planted. With stable conditions and adequate nutrients, new leaves can develop.
