Cryptocoryne parva

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 will send out runners which will grow into new plants.

Crypt parva grows extremely slowly, however. So, a lush carpet of crypt parva requires some patience. We recommend using multiple pots to speed up the process.
