Anubias nana 'petite' quickly became very popular within the aquarium trade because of its tiny, deep green leaves and ease of care. It is one of the smallest Anubias varieties in the hobby and therefore well-suited as a foreground plant especially in larger aquariums. Anubias nana petite is slow-growing and thrives in low lighting. Its rhizome will grow along horizontally as it sends leaves upward, and it reaches a height of only a couple inches tall once established. Please note that depending on availability from our supplier, your anubias may come as a potted plant, or bare root.

How to Plant Anubias Nana Petite

2. The anubias can be planted as one single plant or gently separated into smaller plant clumps by cutting the rhizome.
3. Insert each plant clump between a crack in a rock or more firmly attach them to decor using super glue gel. Be careful not to bury the rhizome or the plant may suffer.

How to Grow Anubias Nana Petite
— Anubias nana petite care is very easy, so start by using low lighting between 10-20 PAR. Too much light may cause excess algae growth, so if you are using a brighter light, consider placing the anubias further away from the light or under the shade of taller or floating plants.
— Why is my anubias turning yellow or brown? It may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. If the anubias continues to grow poorly, consider dosing Easy Potassium fertilizer in addition to Easy Green for extra potassium.
— How to trim Anubias nana petite: If the anubias has dying or melting leaves, trim them off at the base of the leaf without damaging the rhizome.
How to Propagate Anubias Nana Petite
— Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the rhizome and split into two plants. Plant the two sections as normal.
Notes
— How big does Anubias nana petite grow? As one of the smallest variants of Anubias barteri, this plant grows to 2 inches (5 cm) in height with a rhizome of 2–4 inches (5–10 cm). If you are patient and keep the plant happy, it can grow into a large, dense mat of tiny leaves that looks beautiful when draped across driftwood or rock.

I ordered for the second time from aquarium co op because the first time I ordered they did a pretty decent job. The anubias petite is completely infested with snails and snail eggs. I am scared to put them in my tank. Few of the leaves were gone like mushy and guess rotted. Here and there the leaves are torn. Now I am scared to put them in my tank because of the snails.

Plant arrived in perfect condition. Attached to wood decoration with superglue and a month later it's doing great with new growth. Highly recommend!
S
The plants came in perfect condition just a few days after ordering. My only regret is not getting more. Beautiful plant and fast shipping. What more could you ask for?
L
This has to be the cutest anubias! Great for detailing hard scape or nano tanks! My shrimp love hiding and grazing on the leaves.

Anubias look so clean. I setup a tank for my mom this Christmas with several coop plants. They all came in healthy and full even in the freezing cold. Very happy with the purchase and how quickly they arrived despite being very far away from the new Kentucky warehouse. Thanks Coop!
C
These arrived in fantastic condition! I was very impressed with the quality of the plants and how they were shipped. The plants and roots were very clean. No issues at all after a 4 hour alum bath and adding in to my aquarium. The bunch of plants were large, so I was able to split 3 plants into 5 plants. .
J
I love the plants from Aquarium Co-Op. they’re far better than my LFS plants.

I was skeptical about ordering live plants online. I wish I wasn’t. These came packaged beautifully and they are a perfect, deep green color.
R
Plant arrived supper healthy! The pot had 2 nice bunches so basically got 2 plants in 1 pot. Definitely going to buy more
g
Received in great condition. Easily attached to wood with glue.
S
Received my plants in a very short period of time after ordering, I live in Western NY, pretty far from ACO. I glued them to the Betta cave I made from river rocks, this was about a month ago or more and they have new growth! They are beautiful, I wish I got more but being inexperienced with plants I only got two. It’s definitely a great beginner plant to build confidence. I also dose in some easy green liquid one a week or so. As always, completely satisfied with my ACO orders.

My Anubias came in great shape!

Perfect for my 10 gallon

I've had mine for just over a week and all of them are flourishing. Have about 15 leaves on a stem that came with 6 to start. Absolutely beautiful plant that seems nearly impossible to kill.

The Anubias is very happy in my tank and just bloomed.
I love the incredible plants that I get through Coop!

I am very happy with my anubias nana petite.

I'm very very VERY happy with how the plants I ordered arrived in the insulated bag and how they were packaged even further! Every plant I got arrived bright green and thriving. Every plant was a great size( I got nano plants and they are LARGE for plants that stay small)
I'm so very pleased and will be getting more soon!
J
The packaging care was phenomenal. All plants healthy. Only lost 2 leaves on 4 plants. Even though I ordered 4 of these I was able to separate them into 7 strong healthy plants.
G
this is my favorite business to buy plants from! the shipping is quick, the packaging is done well, and the plants arrive in beautiful condition. this petite anubias is probably my favorite anubias i have, it is so stunning and vibrant! and the unique small thick leaves are just so gorgeous. i split mine into 3 pieces when it arrived in the mail and glued them to decorations and they have thrived!
J
Just love getting plants from Aquarium Co-Op. They are always healthy and never disappoint. I ordered two Anubias nana "petite" and ended up with 7 individual plants all healthy and good sized. Used to buy my plants at the fish store but now I use Aquarium Co-Op exclusively as the variety is excellent and the plants are better.
