Anubias barteri ‘Petite’
Anubias Barteri Petite Round is one of the many forms available in the Anubias family. It is a relatively new variation that seems like a cross between Anubias Round Leaf and Nana Petite. It is a small to medium sized Anubias that produces rounded leaves rather than pointed oblong leaves just like Round Lead. Along with its unique leaf shape, Anubias Barteri Petite Round makes for a great beginner aquatic plant choice and is a perfect introduction to keeping live aquarium plants. Anubias are known for being another bulletproof choice and will tolerate a wide range of aquarium conditions and water parameters. Anubias Barteri Petite Round is an epiphytic plant, meaning it sprouts leaves from its rhizome and can grow attached to aquarium hardscape such as aquarium driftwood or in the crevices between stone hardscape layouts. Anubias can also grow marginally and will thrive above water in vivarium, terrarium, and paludarium setups as long as sufficient humidity is provided to prevent the plant from drying out. Anubias are flowering species and will bloom from time to time. With many different forms, shapes, and sizes available, Anubias plants are a classic staple in the planted aquarium hobby!
