Cryptocoryne Parva
Posted by David on 7 Feb 2024Received 3 C. Parva plants, part of a multiplant order.They look strong and healthy with good root system. Two continue to look great, the 3rd has lost all of its leaves, but may recover as Cryps sometimes do this. Other plants I have ordered have been of excellent quality.

Cryptocoryne Parva
Posted by Mike Whitaker on 22 Jun 2021Came in looking good, but after 5 days, a couple are melting back ever so slightly. I have no doubt they will bounce back.

Good, but small
Posted by Unknown on 12 Jun 2020The plants came in excellent condition, but I was slightly expecting more with the 2 plants. Each had two to three leaves on it.

Happy
Posted by James on 11 Jun 2020This was a set of 2 plants but I got 3 since one had a whole other shoot I was able to separate and plant. All of them are growing very well.

Small plants - Good condition
Posted by Michael Solano on 27 Apr 2020I ordered 2 sets of 2 plants and received 4 healthy little specimens which all combined, were smaller than the clump pictured. There were ~4 leaves per plant. A couple yellowing leaves melted after planting but the majority are fine.
