Cryptocoryne x Lucens Willisii Tissue Culture

Cryptocoryne x Lucens ‘Willisii’

Cryptocoryne x Lucens ‘Willisii’ is a stunning, low-growing aquatic plant with slender, lance-shaped green leaves that add a touch of natural beauty to any aquarium. Its compact growth makes it perfect for foreground or mid-ground placement, creating a lush, soft look without overpowering your aquascape.

This hardy plant adapts well to low to moderate lighting, making it a great choice for low-tech setups. While CO2 and nutrient-rich substrates can boost its growth and vibrancy, it thrives even in simpler conditions. Over time, it naturally spreads through runners, forming a dense carpet or small bush, adding texture and depth to your aquarium.

At Top Fin Aquatics, our tissue culture plants come densely packed and sealed for freshness, ensuring you receive a healthy, pest-free, and algae-free start for your aquascape. This means you get top value for your money while providing your tank with the best possible start.

Easy to care for and requiring minimal trimming, Cryptocoryne x Lucens ‘Willisii’ is ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Its sturdy leaves resist grazing from shrimp and plant-eating fish, making it a reliable choice for community tanks. The subtle green tones and delicate structure pair beautifully with broader-leaf plants, carpeting plants, and hardscape elements, helping to create a visually balanced aquascape.

If you're looking for a versatile, resilient, and easy-to-grow plant to enhance your aquarium, Cryptocoryne x Lucens ‘Willisii’ is a fantastic choice!
