Anubias Golden Coin UNS Tissue Culture

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Golden Coin

Anubias Golden Coin, also known as Anubias barteri var. 'Round' is a less common variety that is quickly cashing in on a lot of popularity in the hobby. While it has the long, elegant stems typical of the Barteri family, its leaves are uniquely circular and boast a gorgeous, deep green glossy finish. If you are tired of the standard teardrop-shaped leaves and want to flip the script on your next layout, this epiphyte is ready to help you strike gold with your aquascape.

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

• The uniquely round and circular glossy leaves offer a refreshing geometric contrast compared to the standard tapered foliage found in most planted tanks.
  
• Its impressive taller stem height makes it a highly flexible layout tool that works beautifully to soften hardscape lines in both the midground and background.
• 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.
