Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia
Anubias Barteri var. Nana or simply just Anubias Nana is well-known in the planted tank hobby for being one of the hardiest aquarium plant options. Like other Anubias, Anubias Nana is tolerant of a wide range of aquarium conditions and will adapt to most environments it is placed in. We recommend Anubias to aquascapers who are in search of easy aquatic plants that do not require CO2 injection but are as equally beautiful when compared to some of the more finicky aquatic plant species available in the hobby. Anubias has a well-earned bullet-proof reputation, but will appreciate a well-maintained environment with clean water, CO2 injection and low to medium lighting.
Anubias Nana is an epiphytic plant! This means that it does not require being planted in soil to grow and will do best when attached to aquarium driftwood or in the crevices of an aquascape layout. Care should be taken to ensure the rhizome is not buried as this may cause the plant irreversible damage over time. When ready for propagation, this plant’s rhizome can be split and reattached elsewhere.
