Care Tips: Anubias Nana Pinto is a rare and highly decorative variant of Anubias known for its unique white and green variegated leaves. It is a slow grower and thrives under low to medium lighting—excessive light can lead to algae issues on its leaves. This plant does best when attached to hardscape like driftwood or rocks rather than being buried in substrate, which can cause rhizome rot. It is hardy, undemanding, and tolerates a wide range of water parameters, making it ideal for beginners and low-tech setups. While CO₂ is not necessary, clean water and consistent fertilization with micronutrients help maintain the leaf coloration. Regular gentle flow and shade from other plants can help reduce algae buildup on the leaves. Handle carefully, as the variegated leaves are more delicate than standard Anubias varieties.
