Dennerle Plants Cryptocoryne lucens

Dennerle Cryptocoryne lucens

Cryptocoryne lucens is easy to care for and easy to cultivate.  The plants produce narrow, pure green leaves.  Growing to a height of 10-20cm, this is ideal for the aquarium foreground.  It grows very slowly, which means it requires very little maintenance.  As with many rosette-like plants, only the older, outer leaves should be removed.  However, it is possible to cut the plant back completely to encourage denser growth.  Plants should be cut 2-3cm above the substrate.
