Crypt Balansae (background crypt aquarium plant)

NOTE: The photos labeled "POTTED" is what the plant looks like that we are selling POTTED. NOTE: The photos labeled "AS OF 10/3/25" is what the BOUND plant looks like that we are selling. Crypt Balansae is one of the taller Crypt varieties that we sell. Its full name is Cryptocoryne crispatula var balansae. Unlike Crypt Spiralis, Crypt Balansae is a little more sensitive. Like most Crypts, it might melt back in your tank when you first recieve it.(It hasn't melted in my 220 yet but that doesn't mean it can't happen) Make sure you plant your C. Balansae in a good substrate with plenty of nutrients available. It has been my experience that Crypt Balansae is a heavy root feeder, so make sure you at least have some root tabs. It's ruffled, taller leaves give it a nice contrast in your planted aquarium My buddy Bryan demanded that I start stocking this plant, I told him I would under the condition that he wrote the write up, but I had to get it up here... Here is Bryan's take on it ;) Cryp
