It is a background plant because it can grow quite tall (up to 70 cm or 28 pouce). For a nice bushy effect, plant the feet next to each other, 8 to 12 centimetres (3.2 to 5) apart.
The Cryptocorynthia of Balansa appreciates slightly hard water. It will also need good lighting and nutrient-rich soil.
If it doesn't like it in your aquarium, it will only grow very slowly. On the other hand, when the right conditions are all in place, it will grow fairly quickly. In any case, it will need a little time to adapt once it has arrived in its new environment.
