Anubias Nana Pinto

Botanical Name: Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Pinto’ Common Name(s): Anubias Nana Pinto, Pinto Anubias, Variegated Anubias Description: Anubias Nana Pinto is a rare and highly sought-after aquatic plant prized for its striking variegated foliage. Its compact leaves display a beautiful marbled pattern of creamy white and vibrant green, making each leaf uniquely patterned. This slow-growing variety stays small and bushy, making it ideal for nano aquariums, foreground placement, or attaching to driftwood and rocks. Its bold coloration provides stunning contrast in aquascapes and creates a refined, high-end look in planted tanks. Care: Anubias Nana Pinto is hardy but benefits from stable water conditions to maintain its variegation. It thrives in low to moderate light; however, slightly higher light can help enhance leaf coloration (avoid intense lighting to prevent algae buildup on leaves). CO₂ is not required but can support healthier growth. Keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rot. It prefers temperatures between 72–82°F and adapts to a wide range of water parameters. Due to its slow growth rate, minimal trimming is needed, making it a low-maintenance yet premium addition to aquariums.
