Cryptocoryne Parva is one of the smallest and most compact species in the Cryptocoryne family, making it ideal for foreground planting in freshwater aquariums. Native to Sri Lanka, this slow-growing aquatic plant features narrow, bright green leaves that stay low to the substrate, forming dense carpets over time.
Unlike most carpeting plants, Crypt Parva thrives in low to moderate light and does not require CO₂, though supplementation encourages faster, denser growth. Its hardy nature and minimal maintenance make it perfect for beginners and advanced aquascapers alike.
