Anubias Petite Snow White Vitro Culture

Cream-white marbling on leaves under an inch across. Anubias sp. 'Petite Snow White' is one of the most heavily variegated Anubias in the hobby — and, for exactly that reason, one of the least forgiving. This is the sterile tissue-culture format.

What You'll Receive

• One (1) Vitro Culture® 4-inch bag of Anubias sp. 'Petite Snow White'
• Yield: Approximately 3–4 small young plants, ready to plant or attach to hardscape

Plant Profile

• Common name — Petite Snow White Anubias
• Scientific name — Anubias sp. 'Petite Snow White'
• Origin — Cultivated hybrid; the genus is native to West and Central Africa
• Placement — Midground, attached to hardscape
• Mature height — 2-4 inches
• Growth rate — Very slow

Care

• Difficulty — Advanced
• Light — Low to medium. Excess light burns the pale tissue and feeds algae — the single most common way this plant is lost.
• CO₂ — Not required. Improves vigor under otherwise stable conditions.
• Water — 72-82°F, pH 6.0-7.5. Stability matters more than any particular value.
• Substrate — Not required. Epiphyte; attaches to wood or stone.
• Growth habit — Amphibious; also grows emersed
• Propagation — Rhizome division, once well established

Grower's Notes

• Cream-white tissue carries no chlorophyll, which is what makes this Advanced. The more white a leaf holds, the less energy the plant produces — so it grows very slowly, recovers badly from damage, and cannot outgrow algae on the pale areas. Anubias is famously indestructible; this cultivar is the exception that proves it.
• It can revert. Heavily variegated Anubias sometimes starts pushing plain green leaves. Remove fully green shoots promptly — green tissue photosynthesizes better and will gradually take the plant over if left.
• Never bury the rhizome. Tie or glue it to wood or stone and leave it exposed; buried rhizomes rot, and this plant will not grow back from that quickly.
• Rinse the gel off gently with aquarium or dechlorinated water — not tap — and separate the plantlets before attaching.
• The sterile format matters more here than on a hardy plant: an algae outbreak arriving with the plant is very hard to clear from white leaves that grow this slowly.
