Product description

About the species

Anubias sp. 'Petite' is a mutation that appeared in cultivation at the Orient Aquarium Plant Farm in Singapore. It stays at less than 5 cm in height, has very small leaves and a rhizome of 5-10 cm or more from which the leaves grow. It branches well and creates tight groups.

It does not require much like other Anubias species and does not appreciate high light intensity either. It is most decorative when attached to rocks or roots, and like other Anubias species should be secured with fishing line until established.

If planted in the bottom, the roots should not be covered as this can cause the plant to rot and die. An ideal plant for miniature landscapes in small aquariums but it will also attract attention in larger tanks.

FAQ about Anubias barteri 'Petite'

How do I plant Anubias barteri 'Petite'?

Attach it to wood or rock, or place the roots lightly in substrate without covering the rhizome. A buried rhizome may receive poor circulation and rot.

Where should Anubias barteri 'Petite' be placed?

Place it on hardscape in the foreground, middle or background according to the variety’s mature size. Avoid very harsh flow against delicate leaves.

Does Anubias barteri 'Petite' need CO₂?

It can usually grow without added CO₂, although stable CO₂ and balanced nutrition may improve growth. Moderate lighting often reduces algae on slow-growing leaves.

How do I propagate Anubias barteri 'Petite'?

Once the rhizome has grown, divide it with a clean tool. Each section should retain roots and several healthy leaves before being attached elsewhere.
