Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite White'

About this plant

Petite White is a very small white-variegated Anubias culture form. Its appeal is fine-scale marking on tiny blades, rather than the larger leaves of broad white selections. It should not automatically absorb every plant sold as Snow White or Platinum. Use a few rooted divisions on a visible foreground twig or rock crevice. Very pale leaves have less photosynthetic area, making stable conditions and patience more useful than a sudden increase in light or fertilizer. A green leaf and a marked leaf on the same rhizome can differ substantially in appearance. 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.
