Cryptocoryne parva is unique in that it is one of few foreground, carpeting plants that thrives under low light. It is also one of the smallest crypt species at only a couple inches tall. It has deep green, slender leaves which look almost grassy in appearance. As it grows, it can send out runners which will grow into new plants. This species grows extremely slowly, so we recommend using multiple pots to speed up the process of getting a lush carpet of crypt parva .
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
My first order from AC contained 2 pots full edge to edge with plant so I was looking forward to the same with this most recent order. Unfortunately the 4 pots received this time around were not even close to that. All 4 could have fit in one pot with room to spare!
These things grow sooooo slowly that starting out with a tiny specimen means having to buy A LOT for an instant carpet or waiting until you can collect social security for them to fill in. On the plus side they are healthy and came pest free

Exactly as expected
Have ordered couple pots of the crypt parva from the Coop before, and based on those orders, this latest one looked exactly as I was expecting. In good shape and getting established just fine after planting. A quick “eyeball” guess, it had minimum 15 stem/leaves, but probably closer to 20. Didn’t count them upon delivery, too excited to get them in my tank.

Hardy, full, and ready to plant!
This crypt stays pretty small which is why I got it. It arrived well packed and with roots. I love it! 10/10

Crypt parva
Awesome little nano crypt. I got 6 of these to make a small carpet area in my fluval flex 9 gallon. Highly recommend for nano tanks. They do grow really slow so if your impatient and don’t want to let them grow in then get you a couple of them.

Good product
It is a great plant. I wish I would not have separated it to make smaller ones. I also wish that all the plant places would send what the plant is and some9 basic directions. Overall very satisfied

It arrived in good condition despite some shipping troubles because of a severe freeze. It is doing well in my tank

Great Quality and Value
Arrived better than expected considering the weather. Well packaged, plants have adjusted excellently so far. I also got more than double what I paid as each individual plant had multiple mature plantlets ready to be separated.

Crypt Parva potted
Great amount and in healthy condition when arrived. Unfortunately completely melted after a couple of days of being planted in my tank. 3 pots of Parva all gone.
