A naturally occurring mutation first discovered at the Oriental Aquarium plant nursery in Singapore, this tiny cultivar stays under 2 inches (5 cm) tall and produces exceptionally small, delicate leaves on a creeping rhizome that branches freely and fills in beautifully over time. The result is a dense, lush miniature plant that looks stunning in nano tanks and makes an exquisite detail piece in larger aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIf you love the look of Anubias but want something with a finer, more intricate texture, 'Petite' is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Plant, Big Impact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDespite its diminutive size, Anubias 'Petite' is every bit as tough and undemanding as its larger relatives. It thrives in low light without CO2 injection, tolerates a wide range of water parameters, and is completely resistant to plant-eating fish thanks to its leathery, tough leaves. Its branching rhizome gradually spreads and creates dense, textured clusters that add incredible detail and depth to hardscape — particularly beautiful when allowed to colonise a piece of driftwood or a rocky outcrop over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Cultivar, Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGrowth rate: Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHeight: 1–2 inches (3–5+ cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLight demand: Low — avoid high light intensity which can encourage algae growth on leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCO2: Not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBest placement: Foreground to midground, attached to hardscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAnubias 'Petite' is best attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape using fishing line, thread, or aquarium-safe glue. It will gradually root itself in place over several weeks and can then be left to spread naturally. It looks particularly stunning in groups, where multiple plants colonise the same piece of hardscape and merge into a dense, carpeting effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant — Do Not Bury the Rhizome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNever bury the rhizome — the thick horizontal stem from which the leaves emerge — in substrate. Even partial coverage will cause the rhizome to rot and kill the plant. If placing near the substrate, ensure the rhizome sits fully above the surface at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAll community fish, shrimp, and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIdeal for nano tanks and miniature aquascapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePerfect for shrimp tanks where its tiny leaves and branching structure provide excellent cover and grazing surfaces for shrimplets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48425178398942,"sku":null,"price":17.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/4-8.png?v=1783790980","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/anubias-barteri-petite-tropica","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
