Compact Anubias 'Super Petite' Aquarium Plant, Bare-Root Rhizome for Nano Tanks, Growing 1–3 Inches Tall

This compact Anubias aquarium plant keeps nano aquascapes in proportion with tightly spaced leaves and a mature height of just 1–3 inches. 'Super Petite' is a smaller selection than standard Anubias Petite, making it a useful choice for small pieces of wood, stone and aquarium décor.

Each bare-root plant arrives as a small loose rhizome with four or more leaves. Attach it to hardscape for midground placement, keeping the rhizome above the substrate. Slow growth means less frequent trimming, while low to medium light and no requirement for added CO2 make care approachable for beginners.
