Common Name: N/A
Cryptocoryne parva from Sri Lanka is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes (only 3-6 cm tall and a roset less than 5-8 cm wide). It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions.
A very popular and recommendable foreground plant!
Cryptocoryne parva
This plant is grown in-vitro and is kept in a nutrient medium. Remove plant from cup and rinse roots and plant in aquarium water to remove medium. Seperate into portions and plant into substrate with aquascaping tweezers.
Unlike other Cryptocoryne sp., this species requires medium lighting because it almost loses its leaf plate under water. So, it must never be overshadowed by other plants. Known for its slow growth, but Nutrition Capsules in the bottom layer will enhance the development. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart, and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants.
DO NOT RELEASE PLANTS AND LIVESTOCK INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS!
