Cryptocoryne x willisii "Lucens" is larger and has longer petioles than Cryptocoryne x willisii. Like other Cryptocorynes, it should be planted in a group. But the shoots should not be planted too close to each other, because after a few months’ acclimatization they produce runners and a compact group is formed.

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.
