Anubias sp. ‘Petite’ is a mutation which appeared in cultivation at the Oriental aquarium plant nursery in Singapore.
Stays less than 5 cm tall, has very small leaves and a rhizome of 5-10 cm or more from which the leaves will grow. Branches well and creates dense groups.
Anubias barteri 'Petite'
Remove from pot and remove rock wool as much as you can and rinse in aquarium water.
It is most decorative when attached to stones or roots, and like other Anubias it should be attached with fishing line until it gains a hold. You can also shove into crevases in the wood or rock. If planted in the bottom, do not cover the rhizome as this may cause the plant to rot and die.
Does not require CO2 injection and prefers low light or even shaded areas. Because the plant cannot take up nutrients from the soil, it is recomended to feed with liquid fertelizers. Pruning can be done with aquascaping scissors. We recomend splitting the rhizome with leaves, propegting them and replanting.
DO NOT RELEASE PLANTS OR LIVESTOCK INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS.
