CRYPTOCORYNE WILLISII – Compact Rosette Aquarium Plant from Sri Lanka
Cryptocoryne willisii is a beautiful aquatic plant from Sri Lanka, historically misidentified as Cryptocoryne nevillii—a name that actually belongs to a species never used in aquariums. With its compact rosette shape and slow, steady growth, this plant is a favorite for creating natural, dense clusters in the foreground or midground of any freshwater aquarium.
As with many Cryptocorynes, it may take some time to adapt after planting, but once established, it produces many slender leaves that create a decorative and uniform group. The plant spreads via underground runners, eventually forming lush green carpets with minimal maintenance.
Cryptocoryne willisii grows to a height of 7–20 cm and spreads up to 15 cm, making it suitable for nano tanks and larger layouts alike. It thrives under medium lighting, with or without CO₂, and tolerates both soft and hard water, making it a versatile choice for aquarists of all experience levels.
