Anubias White Broad Leaf

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias White

If you've been searching for a plant that can literally brighten up your scape, Anubias White Broad Leaf is ready to show off its pearly whites! Born from careful artificial selection, this ultra-rare collector's gem is carefully propagated from the darker green leaves of its parent species to create foliage that looks like it was freshly dusted in snow. Compact at just 2 to 5 inches tall, this pale powerhouse is a showstopping centerpiece for nano aquariums, delivering an un-leaf-able contrast against dark volcanic lava rock, shadowy driftwood branches, and deep green mosses.

Key Features & Benefits

• Striking, ghostly white to pale green broad foliage offers an incredible high-contrast pop that makes dark hardscape instantly stand out.
• Its compact, manageable footprint makes it an exceptional choice for adding rare collector-grade detailing to midground spaces and nano setups.
• Durable leaf structure naturally resists grazing from herbivorous fish and active shrimp, keeping your high-end display looking crisp.

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.
• Unlike its green cousins, this sun-seeker lacks heavy chlorophyll! It requires medium to high lighting to stay healthy and maintain its brilliant white coloration! Otherwise, it might go pale with disappointment (or melt!).
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
