An old name for this plant is Cryptocoryne lutea. It has a more rigid and upright structure than many other Cryptocorynes. Like other Cryptocorynes, it must be planted at intervals of a few centimeters. After about six months it will form a cohesive group.

Normally the leaves of Cryptocorynes grow out from a rosette which is so compact that the stem between the individual leaves is invisible. When you buy Cryptocorynes in pots, it is important that they are not planted in a lump but separated into smaller portions and preferably planted a few centimeters apart.
