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.

Great plants from Aquarium Gardens as always. Strong, healthy and a good size, especially for the price. Definitely recommend these.

Beautiful plant. It arrived in excellent condition and was of a substantial size. I was able to separate the balansae into 2 nice sized plants and now have it in both corners of my tank. I haven't had many leaves 'melt' either, which I'm super happy with.

Beautiful plants,great as a background plant ,arrived in exelent condition well grown ,perfect leaves. I would not hesitate to reccomend this company to anyone as ive placed several orders and the packing and condition of plants and customer service is first rate.

I received my order today and I am messaging to say how pleased I was to receive your plants. I've used various online plant order sites in the past and been happy, but the parcel you sent me was filled with established potted plants, all fresh and healthy with no wilting, in a practical and safe container. The service provided was much more than I had ever expected, and I will definitely be ordering again, as well as telling others about your online store. I work in an aquatics store so frequently come into contact with customers seeking quality plants at great value. I will not hesitate to send them your way!

Thank you so much, I'll be ordering more next week when I have been paid (:

  • Superb quality plants.

    Superb quality plants. Delivered quickly and packaged superbly. I won’t be going anywhere else to get my aquarium plants and aquascaping equipment.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • 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.
