Pinto Anubias

Anubias barteri var. nana 'Pinto' is a variegated selection of the classic nana Anubias, its leaves marked with white and pale-green mottling that spreads unevenly across each blade. Flowgrow keeps no separate page for this particular selection, so the profile follows the Anubias barteri var. nana species page, a robust and undemanding plant that grows with or without injected CO₂.

The variegation is not stable: new leaves can come back solid green, especially when the plant is grown under weak light, and the white sectors are the first to brown if conditions slip. Like other nana-type Anubias it is a small epiphyte, attached to wood or stone with the rhizome left above the substrate, and it grows slowly, reaching only about 8 cm. It tolerates the same wide conditions as the species: an optimum temperature of 22 to 26 °C, a pH range of 5 to 8, soft to hard water, and low to fairly bright light, which makes it a forgiving choice for a planted tank or a shaded hardscape. Rhizome division is the standard way to increase it. No Flowgrow record documents the 'Pinto' selection, so this entry is flagged for review: the parameter set is a disclosed assumption taken from the parent variety, not a source confirmation of this specific form.
