If it's low light anubias, java or wendelov fern and crypts.

I have a 5 gallon setup with crypts for my betta
Virtually nothing but root tabs, and a desk lamp.

Anubias nana petite is a good but rare option.

It's not rare. You can buy it online or from hobbyists. I buy stuff on The Planted Tank.

I got some in a gel pack at petsmart!

Depending on your lighting? Lobelia cardinales fills in a 5.5 quite nicely.

Planted tanks don't use colored bulbs. The Kelvin is how red/blue
the white bulbs look to you.

The lights I use are 6,500K. This wavelength looks good to me and is supposed to be close to natural sunlight.
