Cryptocoryne parva is an aquatic freshwater plant, often grown in aquariums.[1] It is the smallest known member of the genus Cryptocoryne. Native to Sri Lanka, it grows as a small rosette reaching between 5 - 8 cm.[2] Emersed leaves are a little wider than those growing under water.[3] The spathe is c. 1.5 cm.[4]
It grows very slowly even under good conditions and prefers a lot of light.[5]
