Product Information
Anubias Petite care involves three broad areas: water parameters, lighting needs and planting methods. Anubias care is pretty easy, making it a good plant for hobbyists just starting out.
Water Parameters: One of the reasons lanting anubias nana petite care is easy is due to the fact that aquarium water conditions are consistent with those for a community freshwater tank, and can even be a bit broader:
Lighting Requirements: Another reason Anubias Petite care is easy is because its lighting needs are simple. Anubias Petite can thrive is a wide range of lighting conditions from low light to higher levels of light. In low light tanks anubias nana petite aquarium plant will grow slowly. At higher lighting levels, anubias plants may grow more quickly, but will also be more susceptible to algae growth on the tops of their leaves.
Planting Methods: Anubias Petite can grow in aquarium gravel, aquarium substrate, attached to rocks, driftwood, or decorations. While aquarium gravel may be adequate, anubias plants seem to do much better when planted in nutrient rich substrate or when attached to porous rocks or driftwood. My personal preference is substrate. Another aspect of anubias care relates to planting. When planting Anubias Petite its important to not completely bury the rhizome. Instead, make sure the rhizome is on top of the substrate so that the rhizome visible to the eye.

Customer Reviews
Both of my pieces of Anubias Nana Petite arrived healthy and looking almost exactly like what I expected from the photos, I love and appreciate this online store for having the balance between marketing the products to look spectacular and the honesty of showing potential customers what you can truly expect to be holding in your aquascaping tweezers a couple of days later. One of my little Anubias petites arrived with one of the leaves seperate (which must have been done during transport) and another leaf torn almost all the way in half. Regardless, this doesn’t take away from the 5 star review, the plants received or buying the experience and the little guys look incredible in my new scape.
I’d like to add that the review’s here are sorted by recent and not by highest rated like almost every other store (regardless of whether or not it’s an Aquarium specific store) does. This adds to the honesty levels. Especially considering that customers often do not leave reviews if they are left satisfied.
Thanks Aquafy team
