Anubias sp. ‘Jade’ Mini
Anubias sp. ‘Jade’ Mini is a compact, slow-growing Anubias variety valued in Aquascaping for its thick, glossy green leaves and very small footprint. This is a true mini form, noticeably smaller than standard Anubias ‘Jade’, making it ideal for nano aquariums, detailed hardscape work, and fine-scale layouts.
Growth note: Like all Anubias, this plant grows slowly and steadily. New leaves may take time to appear, but healthy plants will show firm leaves and white roots along the rhizome.
Avoid burying the rhizome—attach to rock or wood for best long-term results.
Why Aquascapers Like It

- Thick, durable leaves that hold up well in established aquariums
- Excellent for nano tanks, shrimp tanks, and detailed layouts
- Low maintenance and very stable once established
- Clean, rich green colour that complements stone and wood
