Crypt Lucens is a less common type of crypt that can serve as an ideal foreground or midground plant. The slender leaves are bright green with brown stems and when grown in large groups can resemble tall reeds of thick grass. Like other crypts, this plant is recommended for beginners due to its ease in keeping and low care requirements. If grown in good aquarium substrate such as Controsoil, the plant can feed through the roots and grow quickly without the need for high light, CO2 or fertilizer dosing.
Crypts can be grown emersed or submerged. Propagate by splitting the rhizome or cutting off new growth and replanting
Notes:
Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted. If possible, do not move them!
Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.

Buce Delivered Again!
"Beautiful, fresh tissue culture. It wasn’t as full as shown in the picture, but I still got about 6–7 clumps per cup. They were very delicate, so I didn’t separate them further and planted the clumps as they were. Overall, a great buy."

Cryp.
"Glad that I bought the Crypt. It added a touch of color to my last tank(10) gal. Hope the golden mystery snails will leave it alone long enough for it to get established in the fluval substrate they really like to burrow down into it. I added several different shells to give them something to hide in. They really explore. Waterdog."
