Anubias barteri var. nana 'Paxing'

About this plant

Paxing is a small Anubias selection distinguished in specialist cultivation by pointed leaves, a more extended rhizome and greater spacing between blades than nana mini. Its open growth suits a creeping line along a root rather than a tightly packed cushion. Some supplier descriptions instead call Paxing round-leaved. That conflicting description is not used to define this profile, and corresponding supplier photographs are withheld until their identity is resolved. This profile describes the pointed-leaf specialist form; no automatic equivalence with Coin Leaf is intended. 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.
