Can aquatic Crinum be converted, partially or wholly, to non-aquatic culture? If so, how? If not, what is the best culture for long-term growth? Mine only seem to last about one year before slowly dying back and then just never coming back to life...and then they just seem to disappear. They never bloom, but initially grow very well. No fish, a few small snails but I remove the bulk of them when there seems to be too many. I don't have a heater in the tank, but the room temperature is warm: 70s - 80s F during the day, with about a 10-degree drop at night. Plenty of light! They are secured in the gravel if they are loose bulbs, otherwise they are in the small plastic pots filled with foam-like material. There are a few other aquatic plants in the tank with them, nothing special as they are all easily obtained at pet stores, but have become more interesting to me than the fish; the aquatic plants are residual from my "fish days." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! --Jerry Lehmann Olathe, KS
