Cryptocoryne parva
Origin: Sri Lanka
Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest species in the Cryptocoryne genus, rarely exceeding 5 cm in height. Forms a dense, tight carpet of narrow, upright green leaves over time. Very slow-growing but extremely durable. Tissue culture form guarantees pest-free plants.
Medium to high light for compact carpeting growth. CO2 improves growth speed significantly (otherwise very slow). pH 6.0–7.5. Plant in groups of 5–10 per 10×10 cm area. Do not disturb. Root tabs help. Takes several months to carpet — patience required.
