Cryptocoryne x willisii "Lucens" is larger and has longer petioles than Cryptocoryne x willisii. Like other Cryptocorynes, it should be planted in a group. But the shoots should not be planted too close to each other, because after a few months’ acclimatisation they produce runners and a compact group is formed. See other Cryptocorynes for further information.
