Want variegation on a narrow leaf? Most white Anubias are round-leaved — Anubias Minima Variegated is the exception. Long lanceolate blades marbled with white, spreading horizontally into a dense bushy plant with a completely different silhouette from a Petite or Nana.

Grower’s Notes

• Variegated means less chlorophyll, which means less margin. The white areas cannot photosynthesise, so this plant runs on less energy than a plain Anubias and is slower and less forgiving. That is why it is rated Advanced despite the genus being famously hardy.
• It can revert. Variegated Anubias may begin producing pure green leaves and lose the white over time. This is a known trait of variegated plants, not a defect. Remove any fully green shoots promptly — green growth photosynthesises better and will gradually take over the plant if left.
• Never bury the rhizome. Roots can go into substrate; the rhizome cannot. Buried, it rots.
• The rhizome creeps and throws side shoots, so over time a single plant builds into a dense clump rather than staying a single crown.
• Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves per section.

Notes

• Photos are for reference only. Each plant's variegation pattern is unique and will vary — some leaves show more white than others.
• Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.

It is crucial to provide accurate and complete shipping information to ensure the successful delivery of your order and the applicability of the Live Arrival Guarantee.

Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.

WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

Your cooperation in protecting the environment is appreciated. For continuously updated information, refer to the USDA State Noxious Weed list here.
