Overview:
Anubias barteri nana is a compact, slow-growing aquarium plant known for its broad, dark green leaves and exceptional durability. The in vitro form is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, making it completely free from pests, algae, and snails—ideal for sensitive aquariums and shrimp tanks.
Its small size and hardy nature make it a popular choice for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. Anubias barteri nana is especially effective when attached to driftwood or rocks, adding natural texture and greenery to aquascapes without demanding high light or CO₂.
Care and Growth:
This plant thrives under low to moderate lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though supplemental CO₂ can encourage slightly faster growth. Avoid planting the rhizome in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot; instead, attach it to hardscape using thread or aquarium-safe glue.
Growth is slow but steady. Propagation is achieved by dividing the rhizome, ensuring each section has several healthy leaves. Regular liquid fertilisation supports leaf health and colour, though heavy dosing is unnecessary.
