Cryptocoryne lucens grows to about 3 inches typically. It makes a great foreground to midground plant due to its smaller size. This crypt plant does well under low light and grows fairly slowly. It will send out runners as it grows and will eventually form a dense, bushy carpet of narrow, bright green leaves even without high light. However, it takes quite a bit of time, so for a faster carpet effect, use multiple pots of Cryptocoryne lucens.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
I ordered three of them and they all look amazing after adding to my tank.

Great plants
I’m very pleased with all of the plants I purchased and food. The plants all adjusted well and arrived in good shape. They’re all much healthier than those at the pet stores. My bettas love the community food, too. They are clearly happier and healthier than before.

Cryptocoryne Lucens
I was looking for something for the foreground of my 15 gallon tank but not anything that would take over and cover the whole bottom. This seems to fill the bill so far. I did manage to split it in 2. Going on 2 weeks and they look good. I'll be shopping with you again!

Great quality, healthy plants
Very excited to add these to my tank. The plants are very healthy and already growing new leaves! Quick shipping and great condition.

This plant doesn’t work well with low-medium light. My plants didn’t last long.

Nice low light plant
While a little light on leaves, the root system was in great shape, and a couple weeks after planting I have new small leaves emerging from the substrate. There were 3 distinct root systems in the pot, so I was able to separate them and plant them individually, getting a little more coverage.

Visually impressive
I really like the visual presentation this crypt makes. However I did have about 50% wilt and it’s not coming back as strong or as fast as other crypts I have grown. Not necessarily a negative but just something to be aware of.

Beautiful and Healthy
I wanted to start a basic aquascape at home. The information available on Aquarium Coop's site indicated this would be a good plant for my set up, and so far it's doing great. The plant arrived quickly and in great shape. I would definitely order from them again!

Healthy and Full
These are a new crypt that I'm trying out. They're larger than I anticipated them being, very excited to have some background crypts in my 40b! Came in healthy and full. Also shipped very quick despite being a long way from the Kentucky warehouse now. Thanks Coop!
