- Foreground plant
- One of the smallest crypts
- Low light
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 .

Have ordered quite a few of these to fill out the foreground of my tank. very slow growing and tend to melt back a bit initially, but I love the way they look!
Thought the parva would be awesome to put in the front of my tank to change it up a bit. It will stay small not go crazy like chain sword haha. Plus I love crypts so have to try to get them all!
Arrived green and healthy, we'll see what the long term is.
Plants are large, healthy and have strong roots. I received way more than expected. No melt one week later. Can always count on getting great plants from here.
My LFS doesn’t have these plants. They are adorable and I will be ordering more soon.
