Anubias barteri nana on wood

This is the classic Anubias barteri var. nana pre-attached to a naturally shaped piece of driftwood, ready to place directly in the aquarium as an instant, fully prepared decorative feature with no additional setup required. The rhizome is securely tied or gel-glued to the wood, where it will naturally attach its own roots over the following weeks. A perennial best-seller in Belgian and Dutch aquarium shops, it is the perfect product for beginners who want instant, no-preparation results without separate plant planting.

Place directly in the aquarium — no planting in substrate needed. Low light is ideal; medium light acceptable. No CO₂ required. Dose the water column with liquid fertilizer for best growth. The rhizome will naturally anchor itself to the wood over 2–4 weeks; do not disturb during this period. Remove any leaves showing signs of algae growth (black brush algae commonly appears on Anubias leaves in lower-light, lower-flow areas) by trimming or manual removal.
