Anubias Nana Petite UNS Tissue Culture

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Nana Petite, Nana Petite

Anubias Nana Petite is one of the smallest varieties of Anubias! Featuring tiny, deep green leaves that grow in a remarkably tight and dense habit, this West African staple is a favorite for hobbyists looking to add big impact in small spaces. If you're trying to add intricate depth to your hardscape or build a lush nano layout, this petite powerhouse is here to help you nail every tiny detail. It adapts effortlessly to both submerged aquariums and high-humidity emersed environments, such as terrariums and paludariums.

By choosing the Tissue Culture version of this plant, you are guaranteed a 100% pest-free, algae-free, and pesticide-free start for your aquarium. These plants are grown in-vitro in a sterile laboratory setting, ensuring no unwanted snails or hitchhikers enter your system. While these plantlets start smaller and require more time to mature, they offer the cleanest and most reliable method for establishing a healthy colony in planted tanks.

This listing is available in both small and regular portions. Small portions include a single plant, and regular cups contain 5 individual plants.

Key Features & Benefits

• The miniature dark green leaves remain tightly clustered, making it the premier choice for hardscape detailing, nano aquascapes, or foreground accents in larger setups.
• Its remarkably durable foliage effortlessly withstands the curious nibbles of plant-eating fish and shrimp, keeping your layout looking sharp.
• The sterile laboratory environment guarantees your new plant arrives completely free of pests.
  

Care Tips & Preparation

• Carefully remove the plantlets from the cup and rinse away the sterile nutrient gel under lukewarm, dechlorinated water before mounting. For instructions on how to properly plant tissue culture aquarium plants, click here.
• Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the 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.
