Anubias barteri var. nana
Origin: West Africa
Anubias barteri var. nana is the quintessential beginner aquarium plant. Compact, dark-green leaves attach to any hardscape and thrive in virtually any aquarium condition. Tissue culture form ensures pest and snail-free plants ideal for shrimp aquariums. One of the most versatile plants in the hobby.
Attach rhizome to driftwood or rock with fishing line or aquarium glue. DO NOT bury rhizome in substrate — it will rot. Low to medium light. CO2 not required. pH 5.5–8.0. Very durable — tolerates hard water, Malawi cichlid tanks, and low light. Grows slowly but lasts for years.
