AquaArt Anubias sp. ’Pangolino’

'Anubias sp.'Pangolino'' or Pangolin spear leaf is the smallest variant of its kind, grows slowly and is therefore often chosen for use in nano tanks. Its graceful, lance-shaped leaves overlap just like the scales of a pangolin, hence its name. The epiphyte plant with a rhizome root stays compact and low (about 3 cm high): ideal as a decorative plant to place in crevices or on hard surfaces in an aquascape. The delicate beauty is still considered a rarity and is not often available commercially; however, it is enjoying increasing popularity. It is undemanding and easy to care for, thus making it suitable for beginners.

Note: These plants are grown in-vitro in a lab under sterile conditions. They are therefore suitable for immediate use in aquariums stocked with sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp. Plus, in-vitro plants harbour no stowaways such as snails or parasites. No pesticides are used.
