An old name for this plant is Cryptocoryne lutea. It has a more rigid and upright structure than many other Cryptocorynes. Like other Cryptocorynes, it must be planted at intervals of a few centimetres. After about six months it will form a cohesive group. See other Cryptocorynes for further information.
