Cryptocoryne Parva (Low Tech)
Cryptocoryne Parva is found in the central highlands of Sri Lanka are home to this green water trumpet. Its tiny stature, around 5-10 cm, makes it the smallest species in cultivation for aquarists. It grows in dense colonies along the banks of fast-flowing rivers. Cryptocoryne parva grows very slowly and is a somewhat demanding plant. Fairly strong light and CO2 supplementation are essential. This small water trumpet is highly recommended for Nano Cubes. Even the smallest 10 L cube provides enough space for this little gem.

Delivery was fast, and plant was packed in a neat sealed bag with some water. Plant looks perfect with a lot of root growth and no dead or molten leaves. Mcmerwe really takes care of their clients, and attention to detail is superb. Would recommend their products to anyone.
