I have one in my 14 gal cube . It grew to the surface then in circles with the flow of the filter I don't trim it unless I absolutely have to. Awesome plant .
I’ve had the crinum calamistratum in my 55 now for a little over three months and it is looking fantastic. It will eventually find its way into my 75G where it can really stretch out and actually arrived with a little baby sprouting from about 3/4 of the way up the bulb. I was worried about killing the baby so only buried the bulb about half way into the sand. It took a week or two to get its roots established and not get knocked around by my panther crabs. The baby is growing much slower than the mother plant at the moment, but I’m seeing new leaves on the baby every few weeks. Absolutely one of my favorite aquarium plants along with the Madagascar Lace.
I have thaianum and calimastratum that I just moved from a 75 gallon to a 270 gallon/8 foot long goldfish tank. I know they hate to be moved so I’m hoping they will do ok. I put them in 4 in rock wool cubes inside 6 inch terracotta pots. My thaianum was constantly uprooted and floated in my old tank. I can’t wait until it gets huge like my cali!
I have a crinum calamistratum in my low tech betta aquarium and it's HUGE now. It spans my entire 10 gallon. However, I uprooted my first crinum too much during water changes and it died. During cleaning now, I move the leaves by hand to one side so I can get in and trim the other plants below. It's a beautiful plant but those leaves are almost 'sticky' on how easy it's to catch them on tools and each other. I move them back once the water has been filled back up and it doesn't seem to mind that process.
Wow I didn’t know they got that long! Crazy stuff! Thanks for sharing info on these. I’ve thought about these but now idk because of how big they get lol
Thanks for making this video! Quick question, I just acquired a crinum calamistratum, and it has a tiny pup already growing on the side of the bulb; when it is time to remove the pup and plant it, do you just break it off with your fingers, or should you cut it off?
Hi Justin, I am about to get some crinum calamistratum, but was wondering, are they OK in a soft water tank that gets dosed with seachem flourish excel liquid CO2? I know some plants, such as vals melt and die, are crinum likely to do that too? Also I have a 53gallon tank, what do I do to maintain the plant, can I cut the leaves or will the plant die if I did that? I hope you can help. Thanks
Amano used the C. calamistratum in the Lisbon tank although I can't say I've spotted it on the vids of it. I have one and in its pot looks like a sea anemone or squid. In a non Co2 tank its taking time rooting in. Leaves are very dark green..but look a bit thinner then it had from the growers.
What's with the beard Justin... The Amish look isn't good... Have a shave mate... I'm sure you will have some guppy fry in there... Regardless.. Thanks for the info...

I really enjoy how thorough you are when you explain plants to us. Great "show and tell" vids. Thanks for that. 😃👍🌿

Never kept this plants before, now I want some :D
Very detailed guide 👍💚
Because of this video I ordered the Natan from you. My Thaianum i ordered from you are at least 5 foot long. Love this plant.
Cool looking plants. When I have a little more experience, I think I'll get one. Very good explanation of how to care for these.
Thanks for the info Wow Extremely Big Growing Plant didn't know there was such a large growing plant in the hobby 😮

You get two for one because as it grows it becomes a surface cover too😊 I paid $17.99 for one plant . However it’s amazing looking. Calamistratum .
Every time someone sums up some aquarium plant is sounds like your trying to summon a demon. 🤣
@H2O Plants all your crinums are sold out. How long till back in stock?
Will they do good in an Angelfish tank? I have a 120Gal Angel tank and want one of these in my background if possible.

I'm thinking about putting a calamistratum in a pot because the tank hasnt got substrate in it.
What size pot should I use?
Thanks
Think this would be ok for a Bala?
Great information always..
How long /what age crinum can be propagate?
I would love to see a video on dwarf aquarium Lilly's
would these guys be good in a 4.5 foot deep tank at low light?
@@h2oplants630 i was able to grow val grass in it at one time. can it handle the same kind of light
These sell for $80 AUD for a small plant not sure why they are so expensive
Does Australia have import restrictions on it?
I’m just gonna put your hair to the side girl!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
