Anubias Pangolino ★

Anubias Pangolino (Anubias sp. 'Pangolino') is one of the rarest and most coveted miniature Anubias cultivars in the aquascaping world, believed to originate from West Africa. Smaller even than Anubias Nana Petite, its tiny, elongated, lance-shaped leaves grow in a delicate, low-creeping habit that makes it an extraordinary choice for nano aquascapes, detailed iwagumi layouts, and collectors seeking something truly unique. A slow grower, but an absolute showstopper.

Propagation: Carefully divide the rhizome with a sterile blade, ensuring each piece has at least 2–3 leaves. Attach to fine hardscape — small stones or thin driftwood branches — using super glue gel or thin fishing line. Growth is very slow; handle with care and never bury the rhizome.
