Anubias sp. 'Broad White'

About this plant

Broad White is a broad-leaved, white-and-green Anubias culture form. The larger blades give each pale patch more visual weight than miniature white Anubias. Patterning differs between leaves and specimens, so it is not a suitable choice for a perfectly matching row of identical white leaves. Give it an uncluttered midground position where the leaves remain visible but are not exposed to excessive light. Pale tissue contributes less photosynthesis than green tissue. Maintain healthy green portions, remove decaying leaves and assess reversion on a sequence of new leaves rather than one unusually green blade. Attach the rhizome to wood or stone without covering its growing stem. Roots may enter the substrate, but a buried rhizome can decay. Keep the slow-growing leaves free of debris, provide balanced water-column nutrition and avoid abrupt changes made only to chase a colour. Trim damaged leaves at their base. Divide an established rhizome into healthy leaf-bearing sections; emersed-grown stock can replace some leaves after submersion. Care ranges, where supplied, describe reported cultivation conditions rather than measured lethal limits. Width and nutrient concentrations are left unspecified where no defensible form-specific values are available.
