It makes an impressive background feature in larger aquariums, often reaching heights of 40–60 cm or more. Under optimal conditions, it may also send flower stalks above the water surface, where new plantlets can develop. This variety is appreciated for its bold presence and ease of care, even in low-tech setups.

This plant reproduces through plantlets that form along its flower stalks. Once the plantlets have roots, they can be gently removed and replanted in the substrate to grow independently.
Due to its size, Echinodorus cordifolius 'Radicans' is best suited to medium to large aquariums. It prefers nutrient-rich substrate and will benefit from root tabs if grown in inert gravel. Regular trimming of outer leaves can help maintain shape and encourage new growth from the center.
