The Cryptocoryne Parva, originally from Sri Lanka, is the smallest of all the Cryptocoryne (only 3-6 cm in height and a wide rosette less than 5-8 cm). It is one of the few species that does not significantly change the shape and color of the leaves based on the cultivation conditions. Need more light than most other Cryptocoryne, as it tends to lose much of the leaf sheet underwater. Therefore, it must never be shaded by other plants.
Known for its slow growth, the use of nutritious capsules in the substrate will favor its development. The individual plants must be planted a few centimeters away from each other and, after about six months, they will form a group cohesive of low plants.
It is a highly recommended first floor plant.
