Planting and Care:
Cryptocoryne willisii 'Narrow' is best planted directly into a nutrient-rich substrate. Providing adequate nutrients will support healthy growth and vibrant coloration. Like other Cryptocorynes, it may experience "Crypt melt" (sudden leaf die-off) when introduced to new tank conditions, but it typically recovers and sends out new growth. Avoiding drastic changes in water parameters will help minimize the risk of melt. It propagates via runners, gradually forming a colony over time.
