Care Tips: Cryptocoryne parva is one of the smallest Cryptocoryne varieties, making it ideal for small aquariums and as a foreground plant in aquascapes. It prefers low to moderate lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate. It may undergo some leaf melting when first introduced, but this is temporary. Regular pruning of old leaves helps maintain a tidy appearance. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can enhance its growth rate.
