Anubias barteri var. nana

Live aquatic plant in pot, packed in a breathable blister packaging to go.

Anubias barteri var. nana is a small, attractive plant which thrives in all conditions.

It originates from Cameroon and will reach 5-10 cm height. The rhizome will be 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly, and the leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae the chance to become established.

The best result is achieved by planting on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the plant until it gains a hold. If planted on the bottom the rhizome must not be covered because it tends to rot. It flowers frequently under water. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.
