Yes, your tank is small for that crypts. Small growing crypts cost a bomb and are a little rare. The ones you got, wenditi, have indefinite growth patterns.
Since you are not dosing, stem/wood tied plants will suffer until their roots reach the soil. As the swords and crypts are root-fed they will be surely in better health.
But if the lower stem rotts out then you have less light to grow stems.
On the whole, I will always love to have such a tank with no CO2 and no algae 
Good going...
...and if you have a bit more maintainance time, then rescape is a better option  |

hey mate I agree with saikumar
i guess rescaping will give a great look...
try with different shapes of driftwood and few cool rocks....
maybe you try Vallisneria americana and already the existing plants....

Dont kill them! give em away if you dont need.
Take a knife and cut the roots around the rhizome.
That rhizome should be enough to propogate again. |
