Anubias nana 'Snow White' – Rare Albino Variant for Statement Aquascapes

Add a striking accent to your aquascape with Anubias nana 'Snow White', an ultra-rare cultivar known for its nearly pure white leaves and compact growth. This stunning plant is a collector’s dream, offering a unique contrast to darker hardscape and green plants. Its pristine, pigment-deficient foliage delivers instant visual impact—perfect for minimalistic layouts and sophisticated nano tanks.


Key Features

  • Pure White Leaves: Grown under controlled conditions, the leaves lack chlorophyll, producing a true white coloration rarely found in aquatic plants.

  • Compact and Slow-Growing: Similar in form to standard Anubias nana, but with slightly smaller leaves and extremely slow growth due to reduced photosynthetic capability.

  • Epiphytic Nature: Best when attached to rocks, driftwood, or decor; planting in substrate can lead to rot if the rhizome is buried.

  • Rare and Collectible


Care Notes

Because of its lack of chlorophyll, ‘Snow White’ is very light-sensitive. Too much light can cause algae buildup on the leaves or even melting.

Parameter Recommendation
Lighting Low to moderate (avoid direct light)
CO₂ Not required
Placement Foreground, hardscape accent
Growth Rate Very slow
Special Care Place in shaded areas or under overhangs

Ideal for display tanks and low-maintenance setups where algae can be easily managed.

 

Why Choose ‘Snow White’?

  • Unmatched visual contrast for premium layouts

  • Rare cultivar highly sought after by collectors

  • Great for low-light tanks or aquascapes needing subtle focal points

  • Epiphytic—easy to place and move without disturbing substrate


For aquascapers who appreciate the unusual, Anubias nana 'Snow White' offers a striking, ghostly beauty that instantly elevates your layout. Use sparingly as a living sculpture among stone, wood, or dark-leaf companions.
