Cryptocoryne Parva

Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest of the crypts, forming tight little rosettes of narrow, upright green leaves just a few inches tall — one of the few crypts suited to the true foreground. It's slow to establish and slow to spread, but rewards patience with a neat, carpet-like cluster. Give it a bit more light than most crypts to keep it compact.
