A carefully selected cultivar of Anubias barteri var. nana, it is prized for its breathtaking variegated leaves — each one displaying a unique, unpredictable blend of white, light green, and deep green that makes every single plant completely individual. No two leaves are ever identical, and under good lighting the white variegation creates a striking contrast against the darker green that draws the eye immediately in any aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis listing is for tissue culture — grown in sterile laboratory conditions and supplied in a sealed cup, completely free from pest snails, algae, parasites, and unwanted hitchhikers. The safest way to introduce a new plant to your aquarium, and especially valuable for shrimp tanks where pest snails and contaminants can cause real problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes Tissue Culture Worth It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTissue culture plants arrive clean, young, and vigorous — unaffected by the emersed-to-submerged transition stress that potted nursery plants often experience. Because they are grown in sterile gel rather than soil or water, there is zero risk of introducing unwanted organisms to your tank. Simply rinse off the nutrient gel, divide into portions, attach to hardscape, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing Your Tissue Culture Plant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the plant from the sealed cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse all nutrient gel thoroughly from the roots and rhizome under clean water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivide into small rhizome sections — each section with at least a few leaves will grow independently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttach to driftwood, rocks, or hardscape using fishing line, thread, or aquarium-safe super glue gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not bury the rhizome — this will cause rot and kill the plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific name: Anubias barteri var. nana 'Pinto'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Cultivar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Rhizomatous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: up to 2 inches (5+ cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight demand: Medium — good lighting enhances variegation; avoid excessive intensity which encourages algae growth on leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCO2: Not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest placement: Foreground to midground, attached to hardscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on Variegation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe white patterning of Anubias 'Pinto' can shift depending on environmental conditions.
