Tissue Cultures are carefully propagated in a laboratory to ensure plant health. Tissue Cultures are grown in a closed container which means you can enjoy a pest free and disease free plant. The plant will grow in the container until all the nutrients within the agar / liquid is used. If you do not wish to plant right away, keep the container sealed and store in a cool place. Before planting, thoroughly wash off all agar / liquid from the  plant. Once container is opened, plant immediately. 

Cryptocoryne willisii is a well loved, easy to grow plant, its ability to adapt to most lighting and parameters means it is suitable for almost all aquariums. C02 is not needed for good growth, making it perfect for low-tech aquariums. Nutrient rich substrate and root tab fertilisers isn't needed but will encourage new growth.
