Anubias barteri var. nana ’Pinto’
Add a striking visual accent to your aquascape with Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Pinto’ – a rare and highly sought-after variegated cultivar of the classic Anubias nana. Its uniquely marbled white and green leaves make it stand out in any aquascape, offering contrast and elegance even in low-light setups.
‘Pinto’ is a slow grower, with each leaf forming carefully over time. It thrives best when attached to hardscape materials like driftwood or lava rock and should never have its rhizome buried. Because of its delicate variegation, it requires a bit more attention than standard Anubias varieties, with stable water parameters and gentle handling recommended.
Perfect for nano tanks, high-end aquascapes, or as a showpiece plant in a minimalist layout.
