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.

Customers describe this aquatic plant as "absolutely stunning" and "intensely beautiful" with ivory-white coloring. While shoppers praise its compact growth and visual appeal, many note it's extremely sensitive and prone to melting, especially in summer heat or during acclimation. Several report complete plant loss, though others have successful growth with proper care.
- They brought my vision to life and I couldn't be happier!
- These are teeny but so beautiful!
- The roots are super long, it was a great surprise!

They're so pretty. I've only had them for one day but they arrived in amazing condition, I got 4 for 20 bucks which is so much cheaper compared to most stores which are like 50 bucks for ONE.
my photo kind of sucks bc it was taken from far away and im too lazy to upload a new one onto my laptop

Anubias White Platinum Petite Tissue Culture are hard to grow! I had purchased Buy2/Get 1 Free plus an order of tissue cultureI Grow them in rich substrate of Fluval Stratum - both buried and floating on top - in medium to high lights. You hold your breath and admire them for 1-2 months as a rose. And then they all perished, melt away, reduced to a stump! Photos are of what left of carcasses near center. They were grown in my 55 gallons and in 1/2 gallon hemisphere.

These are teeny but so beautiful! I tied three to a small rock with thread. Excited to see them grow and add color (yes, white is a color haha) to my tank!
D
Most of my plants have been bought from here.
B
All 4 looked healthy when I got them.
M
Healthy plants, they are better than I spect!!
100% recommended. Im happy with them.
R
These were perfect!
Z
I really love this type of anubias! I’ve purchased before and I love the color. The only downside is these are so teeeny tiny it’s hard to work with them.
R
These are beautiful! Arrived well and I hope they start to grow quick!
M
This is a great plant, and very eye catching. They arrived in great condition, with about ten leaves on each plant.
S
Arrived looking great, even after spending a cold weekend at the USPS distribution center in Rochester, NY. I can't wait for these little gems to take hold on the driftwood I currently have them pinned to.

I bought 10 of the bare root anubias white petite when on sale for $50 for the pack of 10; I felt that was a great price for these tiny rare plants. They arrived in decent shape with a few melted leaves, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. I submerged 7 of them and put 3 in a floating "raft" of plastic mesh that holds their leaves just above the water. The ones that are submerged lost all their leaves to melt within 2 days, but the ones on the raft are doing a little better and still have leaves left. I'm hoping some of the submerged rhizomes survive the melt and are able to put out new leaves, but I'm taking off some stars because I think at least half are pretty much done for :( Usually tissue culture plants handle submerging a little better - especially anubias - but maybe these ones are more sensitive than usual. I didn't know that, so I hope this review helps someone avoid my mistakes!
J
Love it!!
