A 'Cryptocoryne melt' is a common occurrence when a plant is introduced to a new tank or experiences significant shifts in its environment, such as changes in lighting intensity, pH, GH, KH, water changes, water quality, plant relocation, temperature, or fertilization. Even established plants can undergo melting. In such cases, it's helpful to prune the affected leaves, allowing the plant to focus on producing new growth instead of maintaining the old, damaged leaves. There's no need to worry—your plant will start to recover within a month or even sooner, depending on the conditions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashby Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53886297899348,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/8981\/9988\/files\/5xCryptocorynePontederiifoliaLiveAquariumPlantsTropicalAquascaping1.webp?v=1772806973","url":"https:\/\/ashbyaquatics.co.uk\/products\/5-x-cryptocoryne-pontederiifolia-live-aquarium-plants-tropical-aquascaping","provider":"Ashby Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
