Anubias Nana Pinto Tissue Culture

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Nana Pinto

If you can’t decide between classic green or icy white, Anubias Nana Pinto gives you the absolute best of both worlds! This cultivated gem is the product of generations of careful artificial selection, resulting in a splashy, marbled mosaic of deep green and crisp white on every single leaf. Because the unique white patches are caused by a lack of chlorophyll, no two leaves—and no two plants—are ever identical. Compact at 2 to 5 inches tall, this eye-catching stunner brings high-end collector flair and dramatic contrast when nestled against dark lava rock, rich driftwood, or deep green mosses.

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.

Key Features & Benefits

• Unique, marbled white-and-green variegated foliage ensures every single leaf boasts a totally distinct pattern for a custom look.
• Compact, dwarf footprint mimics the popular Anubias Nana shape, making it perfect for nano tanks, midground placement, and intricate hardscape detailing.
• 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.
• Because its white leaf patches lack chlorophyll, this variety requires medium to high lighting to perform photosynthesis efficiently, stay healthy, and maintain its bold variegated patterns.
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
