Tropica Cryptocoryne x willisii

This Cryptocoryne from Sri Lanka used (mistakenly) to be called Cryptocoryne nevillii, but this is the name of a species that has never been used in aquariums. Like many other Cryptocorynes, not much happens the first month after planting. But then it starts to grow, and willingly produces plenty of runners which form a compact group. The plant becomes 7-20 cm tall, and each roset 7-15 cm wide.

Key Features:

• Considered easy to grow
• Remains relatively low in the aquarium
• Slow growth rate
• Average heights of 10-20cm+
• Low light demand at 0.5 W/L
• Low CO2 0-5mg/L
