Anubias Petite White is one of the rarest Anubias in the trade — irregular white marbling across leaves under an inch across. This one arrives already mounted in a pre-drilled piece of boil-treated driftwood, so there is nothing to tie, glue or wait for.

What You'll Receive

• One Anubias Petite White plant, wrapped in rockwool and seated in a pre-drilled piece of aquarium-safe driftwood
• Driftwood Size: Approximately 1-2 inches
• Easy to move around in the aquarium

Plant Profile

• Common name — Petite White Anubias on Driftwood
• Scientific name — Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite White'
• Origin — Cultivated variegated form; the genus is native to West and Central Africa
• Placement — Midground; the driftwood sits on the substrate or nestles into hardscape
• Mature height — 2-4 inches
• Growth rate — Very slow

Care

• Difficulty — Advanced
• Light — Low to medium. Bright light scorches white tissue and feeds algae — see the note below.
• CO₂ — Not required. Stable conditions matter far more.
• Water — 72-82°F, pH 6.0-7.5
• Substrate — Not required. The wood sits on top; never bury it or press the rhizome down.
• Growth habit — Amphibious epiphyte; grows submersed or emersed
• Propagation — Rhizome division

Grower's Notes

• White tissue carries no chlorophyll, which is what makes this Advanced. A heavily marbled leaf makes far less energy than a green one, so the plant grows very slowly, recovers badly from damage, and cannot outgrow algae on the pale areas. Keep it shaded and it will be fine; put it under a strong light and it will decline.
• It can revert. Variegated Anubias sometimes starts pushing plain green leaves. Remove fully green shoots promptly — green tissue photosynthesizes better and will gradually take the plant over.
• Set the wood on the substrate rather than pushing it in. The rhizome is already correctly positioned; buried, it rots, and this plant will not recover from that.
• The driftwood is boil-treated, so it releases minimal tannin and will not tint the water the way raw wood does.
• Because the piece is loose, you can move it to find the shadiest spot that still shows the marbling — use that before committing.

Notes

Disclaimer: Pictures are not the actual plants you will receive, but a sample representation. Every piece of driftwood has its own shape and every plant its own variegation pattern. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be free of pests, and pesticides, grow emerged, or submerge.

Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.

What We Guarantee

24-Hour Live Arrival Guarantee — We guarantee that live plants and live aquatic animals will arrive alive. In the rare case of a Dead on Arrival (DOA), you must notify us within 24 hours of the delivery time recorded on the carrier's official tracking page. The guarantee is void after that 24-hour window, as condition can no longer be attributed to transit.

How to Submit a Claim

1. Take at least 2 clear, well-lit photos of the affected items in their original, unopened, sealed packaging, plus a photo of the shipping label on the box.
2. Email your photos and order number to hello@aquariumplantsfactory.com within 24 hours of delivery.
3. Do not photograph plants or animals after they have been unpacked, planted, or introduced to your aquarium — once an item enters your aquarium's ecosystem, it is no longer covered.

Approved claims are resolved with a replacement, store credit, or refund at our discretion, under the terms of our Refund Policy. Each item is eligible for one replacement only — replacements are final and we cannot replace a replacement.

Conditions That Void the Guarantee

• Incorrect or incomplete shipping address (vacant address, missing apartment number, or any issue that prevents delivery)
• Packages marked "invalid address," "undeliverable," refused, or returned to sender
• Packages left unclaimed, held at a carrier facility at the customer's request, or not retrieved promptly after delivery — live goods must be brought indoors and unpacked the day they arrive
• Carrier delays, weather events, or delivery exceptions once the package has left our facility
• Shipments to freight forwarders or package-forwarding services

Providing accurate, complete shipping information and monitoring your tracking are essential to keeping your guarantee valid.

Please note: the Live Arrival Guarantee covers arrival only. We cannot guarantee ongoing success — aquarium environment, water quality, nutrients, temperature, lighting, filtration, and CO2 all affect long-term results.

What We Can't Guarantee

1. Pest-free plants (potted & bare-root): Although our plants are grown in our own clean greenhouse, we cannot guarantee they are 100% free of snails, algae, or other hitchhikers. We recommend rinsing and quarantining all plants before adding them to your aquarium. Tissue culture (in vitro) plants are the exception — they are grown in sterile lab conditions, are 100% free of pests, algae, and disease, and have never been in contact with any aquarium.
2. Pesticide-free plants: We use homemade, organic pest control in our greenhouse and never use copper-based pesticides, which are toxic to invertebrates such as snails, crabs, and shrimp. However, we cannot guarantee plants are entirely pesticide-free — always rinse and quarantine before use in invertebrate tanks.
3. Your aquarium's success: We are not responsible for your aquarium inhabitants, including fish, shrimp, snails, and turtles. Please quarantine all plants before use.
4. Growth form: Unless specified, we do not guarantee plants will grow emersed or submersed in your particular setup.

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.
