Product Description

Cryptocoryne Balansae is a proven adaptable aquarium plant, one of the more popular amongst hobbyists. A beautiful tall background Crypt with long crimped leaves. It appreciates and responds well to CO2 infusion. Propagation like most Crypts is by runners. If leaves die when first planted, persevere it should develop new fresh growth. Old, well established leaves, under moderate to high light, are most likely to flower and create runners. Under ideal conditions, leaves will grow to 24 inches tall and 1 inch wide, making it best placed in tank background.

This Plant enjoys mineral rich substrate to be at it's best, so we recommend buying some TNC Nutrient Plugs.

Quality, price and service

This is my first order. The cryptocorynes (Balansae & Becketii) were reasonably priced, arrived in good condition and were well packaged. The communications regarding order confirmation and dispatch were good.

Balansae

Very healthy plants

Aaron Williams | Manchester | September 2021

Excellent!

I don't like writing reviews because I'm a man of few words,so to save being boring I'll just say that every plant I've bought from Aquarium Gardens has been of excellent quality, I've bought three different Cryptocoryne varieties today and not one dead leaf amongst them!

Just about the best supplier of aquatic plants available,great plants,great packaging,so a big thumbs up from me.👍

Excellent!

I don't write reviews because I'm rubbish at it,but I felt compelled to review my most recent purchases from Aquarium Gardens.

This cryptocoryne Balansae arrived well packed and in excellent condition,no dead leaves and after carefully seperating I managed to get ,3 well rooted plantlets from it,now that's value for money!

  • Vibrant plants

    First purchase this week and I was so pleased. The plants were so healthy and vibrant. It's got me thinking about replanting my other tank with more plants! Will definately be buying from them again

  • Amazing place!

    Wow! Was recommended to visit and have to say that anyone looking for plants and equipment this is definitely the place to go.
    Amazing range. Not the normal few plants chucked into a tank. Absolutely incredible. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Probably THE best aquascaping store in the UK. Always a great service and willingness to help you out with any aquascaping related questions you may have.

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
