Anubias barteri var. nana petite 'Snow Flake' IC126

Anubias barteri var. nana petite 'Snow Flake' :  The extraordinary dwarf Anubia plant is referred to as ""Snow White" because its leaves are small and more lighter. 

The variegated plants range from nearly white to white-green. The ovate, round leaf blades can be up to 1,5 cm long, but most of the time they stay smaller.

 Anubias species are typically praised for their robustness and ease of care, but Anubias barteri var. nana petite  "Snow White" is hardy.

It is sold as an in-vitro plant and may be sensitive to new conditions, we recommend keeping it in aquariums that have already cycled and are established.

This rare miniature Anubias needs good lighting because it only has a small amount of chlorophyll. A complete supply of nutrients and CO₂ are also recommended. The plant develops slowly. The best way to secure it is to screw it to wood, rock, or the ground. The rhizome should not be buried because it could rot.

Var. Anubias barteri nana "Aquaflora Snow White" stands out against a lot of other, mostly dark-colored epiphytes by providing a very light color accent on the hardscape. It also works well in nano aquariums because of its small size.

Care Tips

• Anubias are tough plants that may grow in a range of conditions.
• These epiphytes can be grown above the ground or attached to a hardscape.
