Cryptocoryne lucens is easy to care for and easy to cultivate. The plants produce narrow, pure green leaves. Growing to a height of 10–20 cm, this is a good candidate 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 approx. 2–3 cm above the substrate.
