Common Name: Crypt Parva, Cryptocoryne sp. Parva

Crypt Parva is one of the smallest Cryptocoryne species, with green, grass-like leaves growing up to 4" tall — a suitable foreground and midground plant. Compared to other Crypts it grows very slowly and can require more light. Grown in-vitro as a tissue culture, this cup arrives free of pests, algae, and snails.

Care & Planting: Rinse tissue-culture gel off before planting. Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted — avoid relocating them if possible.

A note on "crypt melt": Cryptocoryne are well known for shedding their leaves after being moved, replanted, or exposed to a sudden change in water parameters. This is normal — new, better-adapted leaves typically regrow within a few weeks once the plant settles in. Don't panic if it happens; just maintain stable conditions and give it time to recover.
