Cryptocoryne Neville is not suitable for keeping in an aquarium. When landed, quite rare plants regularly fall completely into a resting phase. Unlike other crypticorin, cryptocoryne Neville does not grow in running water, but in wetlands that are periodically flooded. These habitats dry out during the drought period, the leaves dry out, and only a powerful rhizome remains in the sandy soil. The species inhabits solar areas. The rest period reaches about six months. With the beginning of the rainy season, the plants blossom.
