Description
This hardy and undemanding plant is a mid-ground plant native to the shallow rivers of Sri-Lanka. Just like other Crypt species, this one requires stable water parameters and can't be moved all the time as the leaves will start to melt. It does not require CO2 injection but benefits from it as well as liquid fertilizers.
This plant has slender leaves that are bright green in coloration and brown stems.
When pruned every so often it will grow more like a bush instead of tall and high, which is more appealing.
Quite common in the aquarium hobby and great for beginners.
It will propagate quickly by sending runners once settled in its new environment.

Great plants and the seller was extremely helpful!

I did buy crypt lucens off of aquaticmotiv because they seemed to be the only place that had them in stock. But it was definitely only a few amount of leaves but very large roots! So i'm hoping it bounces back! There was a slight yellowing due to the weather
R
Great quality. It was in good condition

Delays in shipping didn't seem to hurt this specimen too terribly. Lost a few leaves but otherwise the plant is healthy. Excited to see how it does over time.
