Anubias barteri var. nana 'Pinto Mini'

About this plant

Pinto Mini is a documented miniature Pinto selection, not just a smaller tissue-culture package of standard Pinto. Small green blades carry irregular pale patches, while the compact habit makes it easier to place at the front of a nano layout. A specialist profile gives a small adult scale of roughly 3–6 cm. Plant it where larger neighbours will not bury it in shade or debris. Marking is naturally uneven, and a photograph of one specimen cannot guarantee the same balance of green and white in another. 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.
