✂️ Care
Plant Cryptocoryne parva in small clumps in nutrient-rich substrate. The plant spreads slowly via runners. A Crypt melt after planting is possible but temporary — the plant will recover from the rhizome. Regularly add liquid plant fertilizer, such as Sera Florena.
💡 Planter's tip
Ideal as a low-tech ground cover in combination with Anubias or Microsorum on wood for a low-maintenance, natural aquarium without CO₂.
