Cryptocoryne Plants are always a beautiful plant to have in the planted aquarium. They are many speciaes and subspecies of Cryptocorynes which sometimes can make identification of these plants quite hard. These plants tend to arrive in bad condition with wilted or melted leaves. Do not worry as crypts do not like change in temp, ph or lighting. Plant the crypt and wait a few weeks and this beauty should come back to life. Many Cryptocoryne Plants Will flower if left to grow out of the aquarium water column.

Cryptocoryne parva
!
Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes. 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 overshadowed 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. | ||||||
