Description

Anubias barteri Mini Coin is an exceptionally compact Anubias cultivar producing tiny, round to coin-shaped leaves on a miniature rhizome. Its very small scale makes it one of the most useful plants for nano aquariums, detailed hardscape arrangements, and shrimp tanks where a small but long-lived epiphytic plant is needed without the size footprint of larger Anubias varieties.

Like all Anubias it must be attached to wood or rock with the rhizome exposed and never buried in the substrate. It grows in low to medium light without CO2 injection and is tolerant of a very wide range of water conditions. Slow-growing and extremely long-lived, it is one of the most reliable plants in the hobby and requires very little maintenance once settled.

Supplied as a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture cup, this plant arrives completely free from snails, pest algae, and pesticide residue — making it an ideal and safe choice for shrimp tanks and sensitive aquascape set-ups. Rinse the gel, divide the plantlets and attach to hardscape. Suits aquariums from 10 litres upward.

Plant Sizes

The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Tissue cultured plants are supplied young and grown in a sterile environment, so they arrive free from snails, algae and pesticide residue. They may look smaller on arrival, but each cup contains multiple plantlets designed to be divided and planted out, where they establish quickly with minimal melt and grow into place.

Product Details

1. Grown in a laboratory

Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.

2. How to handle them

They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.

3. Pot sizes

Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.
