Anubias Nana Petite Tissue Culture (Aquascaping Essentials)

Anubias Nana Petite is one of the most popular and versatile aquatic plants in aquascaping, prized for its small size, dense growth, and vivid green leaves. Its petite, rounded foliage grows in tight clusters, making it ideal for nano tanks, foreground placement, or attaching to hardscape elements like driftwood and rocks. With its slow-growing, compact nature, this plant adds a clean, lush look to aquariums without overtaking the space.

At Aquascaping Essentials, our tissue culture plants are carefully grown and densely packed in sealed cups to provide an abundance of plants that are pest, algae, disease, and snail-free. This ensures you get exceptional value for money and a clean, healthy start to your aquascape.

Anubias Nana Petite thrives in low to moderate light and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. It does not require CO2 injection and is extremely resilient, tolerating a wide range of water conditions. This plant can be securely attached to rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium décor using thread or glue. To prevent rhizome rot, ensure the rhizome remains above the substrate.

The tough, thick leaves of Anubias Nana Petite are resistant to herbivorous fish, making it a reliable option for tanks with plant-grazing species. Its dense foliage also serves as an excellent hiding place for shrimp, fry, and small fish, contributing to a more natural and balanced environment.

This compact plant grows beautifully in aquascapes of all styles, from minimalist Iwagumi layouts to lush jungle-style aquariums. Whether used to accentuate hardscape, cover exposed surfaces, or fill small gaps, Anubias Nana Petite is a must-have aquatic plant that delivers timeless beauty with minimal effort.
