Description:
Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae is an aquatic plant native to southern Thailand, known for its green or bronze ruffled leaves. It thrives in hard water with high calcium concentration and prefers moderate to bright light. Popular in aquariums, this plant grows quickly once established and can produce flowers when grown emersed. It is susceptible to 'crypt melt' with changes in water parameters, so stable conditions are essential. Its reed-like leaves and adaptability to various aquatic environments make it a favorite among aquarium hobbyists.
