Cryptocoryne Parva - Buy Aquascaping Aquarium Plant

Product Description

Cryptocoryne parva fromac Sri Lanka is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes (only 3-6 cm tall and a roset less than 5-8 cm wide). 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.

Good plants

Arrived in great condition, and you can separate these bad boys out into lots of separate plants. I'd say one plant purchased could give you 10-15 individual plants once split up.

Low light plants are my favourite, they require very minimal effort and they grow equally as beautiful, as the higher maintainance plants, in my opinion. This species of crypt is my all time favourite, since it seems to do very well in my low maintainance aquarium and it puts out new leaves every few days. The amount of plant you receive with your order, is of a fair amount, for the price. I only wish I'd used aquarium soil for my planted tank, as this crypt would do even better with nutritious soil and would flourish even more. I definitely would recommend if you are after a foreground carpet plant, with the addition of root tabs or soil, as crypts are heavy root feeders.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
