Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto

Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto

Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto is one of the most visually striking Anubias cultivars available, featuring a beautiful variegated pattern of white, cream, and green marbling across its compact leaves. Each leaf displays a unique combination of colors, making every plant a one-of-a-kind specimen. This rare and desirable cultivar has become a favorite among aquascaping collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and low-maintenance care.

Planting tip: Never bury the rhizome in substrate — Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto should always be attached to driftwood, rock, or other hardscape with the rhizome fully exposed. Use cotton thread or aquarium-safe adhesive to secure it, and the plant will anchor itself naturally over time.

The care for Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto is the same as standard Anubias barteri nana — low lighting, no CO₂ requirement, temperatures between 72 and 82°F, and a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Moderate light rather than very bright conditions is recommended to preserve the white markings without encouraging algae growth on the slow-growing foliage. Regular liquid fertilization supports healthy new growth.

Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto should be attached to driftwood or stone with the rhizome fully exposed. The slow growth rate of this plant means patience is rewarded — a well-established specimen develops into a lush, colorful showpiece over months and years.

In the aquascape, Anubias Barteri Nana Pinto commands attention wherever it is placed. Its variegated foliage creates a natural focal point and works best when given space to be appreciated individually or in a small grouping. Pairing it with uniformly green plants like Java Fern, mosses, or plain Anubias nana varieties throws its unique coloration into sharp relief. A rare treasure that combines the ease of Anubias with breathtaking visual appeal.
