The Cryptocoryne parva 1-2-Grow is the smallest species in the Cryptocoryne family, perfect for creating a cohesive and natural foreground carpet in aquascapes. Native to Sri Lanka, this plant maintains its leaf shape and colour regardless of growing conditions, offering consistent beauty with minimal variation. With a height of just 3-6 cm and a rosette spread of 5-8 cm, it’s perfect for tanks of all sizes.

Key Benefits of Cryptocoryne Parva 1-2-Grow

• Compact Size: Ideal for small aquariums and as a low-growing foreground plant in larger aquascapes.
• Consistent Growth: Retains its characteristic leaf structure and vibrant colour across different environments.
• Moderate Light Requirements: Performs best under medium lighting, avoiding thinning of leaves when provided with adequate exposure.
• Slow but Rewarding Growth: Though slow-growing, fertilisation and proper care encourage its development into a lush carpet.

Care & Planting Tips

Plant each Cryptocoryne parva a few centimetres apart to allow it to spread naturally. Over a few months, the plants will form a dense, cohesive foreground. Use nutrient-rich substrates or fertiliser capsules to promote healthy root development. Ensuring good light penetration prevents overshadowing from other plants, helping it thrive.
