Anubias Chili Tissue Culture (Aquascaping Essentials)

Anubias ‘Chili’ is a super rare aquatic plant, cherished by aquascapers worldwide for its dark green, pointed leaves and compact, bushy growth habit. This unique variety stays small and grows into dense clusters, making it perfect for nano tanks, as well as foreground or mid-ground placements in larger aquariums. Its exclusivity and stunning appearance make it a prized choice for aquascaping enthusiasts looking to elevate their layouts with a rare, standout plant.

At Aquascaping Essentials, our tissue culture plants are carefully cultivated to ensure dense growth, packed in sterile containers, and sealed for ultimate freshness. This process guarantees that your Anubias ‘Chili’ is free from pests, diseases, algae, and snails, providing a healthy, clean start for your aquarium.

As a hardy, low-maintenance plant, Anubias ‘Chili’ thrives under low to moderate light conditions and does not require CO2 injection, making it suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. Thanks to its slow growth rate, it requires minimal trimming, and its rhizome structure allows it to be easily attached to driftwood, rocks, or aquarium décor. Care should be taken to keep the rhizome exposed to prevent rot.

Its thick, durable leaves make it highly resistant to nibbling from herbivorous fish, while its bushy growth provides excellent shelter for shrimp, small fish, and fry. Anubias ‘Chili’ also enhances water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, helping to reduce algae naturally and creating a healthier environment.

With its rare status, easy care, and elegant appearance, Anubias ‘Chili’ is an essential addition to any aquascape. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned aquarist, this plant brings both beauty and practicality to your underwater masterpiece.
