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.
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
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.
