CareE. bleheri will grow faster than the similar E. amazonicus and will need a nutrient rich substrate, or additives. Moderate light will suffice.
Unlike E. amazonicus, propagation is a bit more difficult in the aquarium as it does not regularly form inflorescences or adventitious shoots. It will also get too big for all but the largest aquariums.
