Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes and this plant grows to a height of 5-10cm and a width of 5-7cm. It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions. It needs more light than most other Cryptocorynes because it almost loses its leaf blade under water. So it must never be over-shadowed by other plants. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants. Recommended for foreground planting.
