Cryptocoryne parva – Compact Foreground Aquarium Plant

Cryptocoryne parva, native to Sri Lanka, is the smallest species in the Cryptocoryne genus, growing only 3-6 cm tall with a rosette width of 5-8 cm. Unlike other Cryptocorynes, it maintains consistent leaf shape and color regardless of environmental conditions, making it a dependable choice for aquascapers. This low-growing plant is ideal for foreground placement and thrives under bright light.

Key Features:

• Smallest Cryptocoryne 🌱: Reaches only 3-6 cm in height, making it perfect for creating a compact foreground cover.
• Stable Leaf Shape & Color 🌿: Retains consistent leaf characteristics across different conditions, providing a reliable appearance.
• Bright Light Requirement 💡: Needs higher light levels to maintain healthy growth, as it tends to lose its leaf plate underwater.
• Slow Growth 🐢: Known for gradual development, but root fertilization with Nutrition Capsules enhances growth and density.
• Foreground Use: After several months, individual plants grow into a cohesive, low carpet, adding depth to the tank's foreground.

Care Tips:

• Lighting: Ensure bright, unobstructed light to support growth, as overshadowing can stunt its development.
• Spacing: Plant individual specimens a few centimeters apart to allow for natural spread over time.
• Nutrient Support: Use Nutrition Capsules in the substrate to encourage faster development.

Cryptocoryne parva is a highly recommended foreground plant, valued for its compact size, slow but steady growth, and stability in aquascapes.
