Anubias Minima Dragon Claw Tissue Culture - Small Cup

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Minima Dragon Claw

Anubias Minima Dragon Claw is a fierce new variation that is ready to breathe some serious life and texture into your next layout. Setting itself far apart from its round-leaved relatives, this West African native features small, elongated, and slender leaves that boast a uniquely crinkled texture reminiscent of mythical dragon scales. If your current aquascape is feeling a bit flat or one-dimensional, this beginner-friendly epiphyte is the perfect tool to help you conquer new texturing heights. 

Key Features & Benefits

• The highly unique, slender, and slightly crinkled foliage introduces a dramatic architectural texture that breaks up the monotony of standard round aquarium plants.
• Its exceptionally tough leaf structure easily withstands the curious nibbles of herbivorous fish and active shrimp, keeping your design 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.
• Master the prep and planting process by checking out a beginner's guide to tissue culture plants to prevent your delicate new plantlets from melting or floating away.
