{"product_id":"cryptocoryne-parva","title":"Cryptocoryne parva","description":"\u003cp\u003eA compact foreground aquarium plant that stays small and keeps the same leaf shape and colour whatever the growing conditions, helping you build a tidy, predictable low planting at the front of the tank. It suits aquascapers who want a reliable, slow-growing carpet rather than a plant that changes appearance between setups. Supplied as a pack of five pots or a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCryptocoryne parva, native to Sri Lanka, is the smallest species in the Cryptocoryne genus, growing to just 3-6cm tall with a rosette span of 5-8cm. Unlike many other Cryptocorynes, it keeps a steady leaf shape and colour whatever the growing conditions, which helps you maintain a consistent look at the front of the tank. It suits aquascapers planning a low, compact foreground layer rather than a taller or variable planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs more light than most other Cryptocoryne species, since it almost loses its leaf form underwater without enough of it. Keep it clear of taller or bushier neighbours that would cast shade over it, or the leaves won't develop properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is naturally slow. Nutrition capsules placed in the bottom substrate layer can support faster development, though these aren't included with the plant. Plant individual specimens a few centimetres apart and, after around six months, they typically merge into one low, cohesive group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get the plant supplied either as a pack of five pots or as a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups. The growing medium isn't specified for either option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquarium placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForeground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"Potted (pack of 5)","offer_id":57679147172213,"sku":"TRP-106","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-2-Grow!
