Cryptocoryne Lucens

Cryptocoryne lucens is a slender and elegant variety known for its bright green, narrow leaves that resemble aquatic grass. It stays relatively short and grows in compact clusters, making it a superb choice for foregrounds, borders, or nano tanks. This plant brings a clean, minimalist feel to the layout—great for nature-style and Iwagumi-inspired aquascapes. Care and Planting DirectionsPlant directly into nutrient-rich substrate in small clumps. While it tolerates low-tech conditions, moderate lighting and CO₂ will speed up its slow growth and help it form denser mats. Once established, it spreads gradually via runners.
