Anubias Nana Snow White Tissue Culture
Plant Profile
A rare alabaster cultivar of classic Anubias Nana, Anubias Nana Snow White brings striking, frosty white foliage to high-contrast planted tanks. Flipping the script on traditional green aquatic foliage, this highly sought-after dwarf epiphyte produces stunning, creamy-white to pale alabaster leaves. It acts as a glowing centerpiece in nano layouts, delivering dramatic visual contrast against dark lava rock, rich driftwood, and deep green mosses in aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums.
Tissue Culture cups ensure your aquascape gets a super clean starting point. Lab‑grown and fully sterile, it arrives without pests, snails, duckweed, or any unwanted algae. It’s the go‑to option for anyone who wants peace of mind when adding fresh greenery to a carefully maintained setup.
This listing is available in both small and regular portions. Small portions include a single plant, and regular cups contain 3-5 individual plants.
Key Features & Benefits
- Striking, snowy-white foliage creates an unmatched, high-contrast focal point.
- Compact, dwarf footprint makes it ideal for nano aquascapes, intricate hardscape detailing, and high-end collector displays.
Care & Planting Instructions
- Remove the plantlets from the cup and rinse away the sterile nutrient gel under lukewarm, dechlorinated water.
- Attach to hardscape using aquarium‑safe glue or thread; keep the rhizome above substrate to prevent rot.
- Unlike its shade-loving green relatives, this variegated beauty lacks abundant chlorophyll and requires medium to high lighting (alongside CO2 injection) to thrive, flourish, and hold its snowy coloration.
- Maintain stable conditions to support smooth acclimation and reduce leaf loss.
- Master the planting process by reading a beginner's guide to tissue culture plants to prevent your delicate new plantlets from melting or floating away.
