Anubias Barteri Petite Round on Lava Stone

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Barteri Petite Round

Skip the superglue and fishing line! Anubias Barteri Petite Round on Lava Stone comes pre-bound and ready for instant gratification. Featuring dark green, compact leaves with smooth, rounded edges, this charming dwarf variety offers a lush, button-like appearance that fits into foreground and midground layouts. Because it arrives already established on a piece of porous lava rock, it takes all the guesswork out of mounting epiphytes. Perfectly suited for low-tech aquariums or humid emersed setups, it allows you to drop a healthy, established accent straight into your aquascape without worrying about buried rhizomes or floating plants.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-attached to natural lava rock for instant, hassle-free placement anywhere in your aquarium or terrarium.
• Compact, smooth, round leaves create a neat, tidy dwarf aesthetic that excels in nano tanks and tight hardscape layouts.
• Incredibly resilient, low-light tolerant, and tough enough to withstand grazing from active fish, snails, and dwarf shrimp.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Carefully remove the plant from its pot and clear away all rockwool from the roots. For a deep dive on prepping potted plants, click here.
  
• Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the thick horizontal stem in gravel or soil because restricting water flow around the rhizome will cause the plant to melt, rot, and die.
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
• Position the plant away from intense, direct light and ensure healthy water flow to prevent slow-growing leaves from collecting unwanted spot algae.
• Provide low to moderate lighting and optional carbon dioxide injection to achieve faster growth and more robust leaves, though it will happily thrive without high-tech setups.
