​​Anubias nana 'Petite'

Anubias nana 'Petite' is a mutation of the Anubias nana and has even smaller leaves. This also grows very slowly and is somewhat more difficult to keep in good conditions. It remains smaller than 5cm.

Anubias is best tied or glued to a stone or piece of wood. If planted on the ground, make sure that the rhizome (rhizome) remains above the substrate. White flowers can be formed under water, which has a nice effect. The leaves are tough and are not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Anubias 'Petite' is very suitable for a small aquarium thanks to its small leaves.
