Anubias Petite on Rock
Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Petite’
Anubias Petite is one of the most refined miniature Anubias varieties, valued for its deep-green, glossy leaves and naturally compact growth.
This plant is carefully mounted on natural Lava Rock, allowing the rhizome to breathe and anchor securely without the need for substrate planting.
Its slow growth and stable form make it an exceptional choice for nano aquascapes, high-humidity terrariums, paludariums, and detailed natural layouts where subtle botanical textures elevate the composition.
