- 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 .

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.
Absolutely perfect, I was worried because of the cold but the plants were in good condition despite it.
If you want a carpet of plants in a low-tech tank, but you don’t want to be continually trimming the plants, get this. I ordered lots of them, because this is a slow grower. It’s worth it to me, though, just because I wearied of maintaining my dwarf hair grass (also a nice carpet). Bottom picture shows the newly planted Crypt parva, top pic shows the old Eleocharis acicularis’Mini,’ which was grown from tissue cultured plants.
I received nice healthy potted C. parva plants and separated them out into many little clumps to plant throughout my tank’s foreground.
Ordered a pot just before christmas and I've already seen a new leaf.
Plants arrived in great shape and now 2 weeks later have almost fully converted
This is the only place to get plants that are 100% healthy every time
All the plants ordered came in happy and healthy even in the 20 degree weather. Pic is a 2.5 gal no filter set up for 3 days.
This batch isn't making it very well. I hope they establish soon.
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!
