Anubias Barteri Petite Coin
About this plant
Want round leaves at nano scale? Anubias Petite Coin is a cross between Anubias Barteri Round (Golden Coin) and Anubias Nana 'Petite' — it takes the thick coin-shaped leaf from one parent and the compact size from the other, giving you a shape no other small Anubias has.
What you'll receive
- Loose Rhizome: ~6+ leaves, bare-root and ready to attach to hardscape
- Potted Plant: ~6+ leaves planted in rockwool within a net pot for easy placement
- Photos shown are sample representations; actual plants may vary in size, shape, or coloration depending on growing conditions. Unless specified, we do not guarantee plants to be free of snails, pests, or pesticides.
- Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.

Grower's notes
- The round leaf is the point. Most small Anubias have spade or lance-shaped leaves. Petite Coin's near-circular leaves give a distinctly different texture on the same hardscape — which is why it works as a detail accent rather than a filler.
- Never bury the rhizome. Roots can go into substrate; the rhizome cannot. Buried, it rots — the most common way an Anubias is lost.
- Thick waxy leaves hold up in tanks that shred softer plants, which is why Anubias survives with cichlids and large fish where most planting fails.
- Those same broad leaves are good grazing surfaces for shrimp as biofilm develops.
- Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves per section. The full-size parent is Anubias Round Leaf (Golden Coin).

How it arrives
A sealed Vitro Culture® bag
Lab-grown plantlets in nutrient gel, free of snails, algae and pests.
- Keep it sealed at room temperature, out of direct sun, until you're ready to plant.
- Rinse off all the gel under lukewarm water. Left in the tank, it clouds the water and feeds algae.
- Split into small portions and plant with tweezers. Small portions spread faster than one big clump.
Normal: a little melt in the first weeks as underwater leaves replace the leaves grown in the lab.
Rooted plants in a net pot with rockwool
The most stable option, with roots already established.
- Rinse the plant under clean water.
- Plant the pot as is, or ease the plant out and gently tease away the rockwool. Either way works.
- For epiphytes like Anubias and Bucephalandra, keep the rhizome above the substrate or tie it to wood or rock.
Fresh-cut stems in a net pot with rockwool
Freshly cut stems without roots, held upright in a net pot for a quick setup.
- Rinse the stems under clean water.
- Plant the pot as is, or remove the stems and plant them one by one, an inch or two deep.
- New roots usually form within a couple of weeks.
Rooted plants bundled with foam and a plant weight
Easy placement plus the stability of roots.
- Rinse the bunch under clean water.
- Place the bunch as is, or remove the foam and weight and plant each one separately.
- Give each plant room so light reaches the lower leaves.
Fresh-cut stems bundled with foam and a plant weight
Freshly cut stems without roots, ready to drop in.
- Rinse the stems under clean water.
- Remove the foam and weight and plant stems one by one, an inch or two deep, for the fullest look. You can also place the bunch as is.
- New roots usually form within a couple of weeks.
Loose, rooted plants
No pot or foam, so you can place them exactly where you want.
- Rinse the plants under clean water.
- Plant the roots into the substrate, or tie the rhizome to wood or rock with cotton thread (never glue). Don't bury the rhizome.
- Trim any broken leaves; new growth follows once settled.
Loose, fresh-cut stems
Freshly cut stems without roots, for full flexibility.
- Rinse the stems under clean water.
- Plant stems one by one, an inch or two deep, with a little space between them.
- New roots usually form within a couple of weeks.
A bulb, ready to sprout
Bulbs ship either dormant or already sprouted with leaves, depending on the option you choose.
- Rinse the bulb under clean water.
- Rest it on the substrate or press the base in slightly. Don't bury the top.
- A dormant bulb can take a few weeks to send up its first leaves.
A young sprouted tuber
Ready to pot up and grow into a full plant.
- Pot it in a wide container of heavy garden soil, crown just above the soil.
- Start shallow and lower it deeper as the leaves grow.
- Give it full sun once the leaves reach the surface.
Attached to hardscape
Already growing on rock or wood, so it's ready to place.
- Rinse the piece under clean water.
- Place it anywhere in your layout. No planting needed.
- Keep the rhizome out of the substrate.
Packed fresh to travel well
- Open the box as soon as it arrives.
- Rinse the plants under clean water.
- Plant or place them the same day if you can.

Are your plants free from pests, algae, and pesticides?
Our plants are very clean, but we can’t guarantee they will be 100% free of hitchhikers (snails, algae, pests), because we can’t be responsible for your aquarium. We recommend rinsing all plants with clean water and quarantining them before use.
Plants in our Tissue Culture collection are 100% free of pests and algae and have never been in contact with any aquarium.
We don’t guarantee our plants are free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests, and never pesticides containing copper, which is toxic to invertebrates such as snails, crabs, and shrimp.
We don’t guarantee your aquarium’s success and aren’t responsible for its inhabitants, including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snails, and turtles. Please quarantine all plants before use!
Are your plants grown emersed or submerged?
It depends on the species. Most of our plants are grown hydroponically in a controlled-environment greenhouse.
Common stem plants such as Ludwigia, Bacopa, and Myriophyllum, and rheophyte/epiphyte plants (Anubias, Bucephalandra, Microsorum, Bolbitis, etc.) are grown emersed, hydroponically, in a controlled high-humidity environment.
True aquatic plants that can’t grow emersed — such as Vallisneria, Elodea, Najas, Cabomba, Potamogeton gayi, and Ceratophyllum demersum — are always cultivated submerged, underwater.
Should I remove the foam, weight, or pot before planting?
It’s totally up to you — we usually keep them as they are!
What’s the difference between fresh-cut, bare-root, and potted plants?
All options offer the same high quality; they differ in how they are prepared and packaged:
- Fresh-cut Plants: loose, freshly cut plants without roots. Great flexibility if you prefer to plant them your own way.
- Fresh-cut Bunched: freshly cut plants without roots, bundled with foam and a plant weight, ready to place in your aquarium.
- Fresh-cut Potted: freshly cut plants without roots, potted in a net pot with rockwool for stability and a quick setup.
- Bare-root Plants: loose, rooted plants you can position exactly where you want.
- Rooted Bunched: rooted plants bundled with foam and a plant weight — easy placement plus the stability of roots.
- Rooted Potted: rooted plants potted in a net pot with rockwool — maximum stability and a low-maintenance setup.
Choose based on your planting preference and your aquarium setup.

My buce & anubias were well packed and quickly delivered. Nice sized examples of high quality. Well recommended.
Everything in my order arrived healthy. These worked just like I was hoping
nice dark green. arrived healthy and lush. very round!
Each portion came in an approximately 2x3 plastic bag. Each portion was plump & healthy. Placed in a temporary holding until ready to use. After a few weeks, plants still look plump & healthy with zero die-back/melt
My 5 plants arrived quickly and were very heathy. They are adjusting to their new home nicely.
Plants came in nice and healthy
Anubias Barteri Petite Coin
I was sent the wrong type of plant.
I am giving 4 stars vs 5 mostly because 1 of the 3 Crypt Wendtii vitro plants I received was basically melted on arrival, the other 2 looked very nice. And the very expensive ($29.99 each) Buce I ordered looks extremely similar to the $9.99 each Buce from top fin brand at pet smart.
Other than that - they all arrived packed with care and with the size / quantity as described. I would order again and recommend to others.
First time customer... Won't be my last!
Ordered a huge order and every single plant did not disappoint!!!
All plants transferred successfully into my new tank. They are thriving!
Thank you!
Cute, dark round leaves, great accent plant.
They are small plants, but if that's what you need their perfect. Nice dark green leaves, and doing well in the tank.
