Tropica Cryptocoryne parva 1-2-Grow!

Cryptocoryne parva from Sri Lanka is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes, only 3-6 cm tall with rosettes less than 5-8 cm wide. It is one of the few crypts that appreciates more light, and it grows slowly, forming a compact, grass-like foreground carpet over time. Like all crypts it prefers a nutrient-rich bottom and may melt after transplanting before new growth appears.

Care requirements: Difficulty: Medium (per Tropica). Light demand: Medium. CO2 demand: Low; grows well without added CO2. Growth rate: Slow. Placement: Foreground to midground. Height in tank: 5-10+ cm. Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.
