Product Description:

Anubias Nana is a classic and enduring aquatic plant celebrated for its timeless elegance and versatility in freshwater aquariums. Originating from West Africa and belonging to the Araceae family, this species is characterized by heart-shaped leaves with a glossy, deep green hue. Its popularity among aquarists can be attributed to its hardiness, slow growth, and adaptability to various aquarium conditions. Anubias Nana remains a staple choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, adding a touch of grace to aquascapes.

Lighting: Anubias Nana thrives in low to medium lighting conditions, making it an adaptable choice for various aquarium setups. It can tolerate lower light levels, making it suitable for tanks with limited light availability.

Substrate: Attach the plant to aquarium decorations or substrate using its rhizome. Unlike many other plants, Anubias Nana prefers not to be planted directly into the substrate. Use smooth rocks, driftwood, or other decorations for attachment.

CO2 and Nutrients: Anubias Nana has low CO2 requirements and can absorb nutrients from the water and substrate. While it is not particularly demanding, occasional supplementation with liquid fertilizers containing essential nutrients can be beneficial.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is necessary for Anubias Nana. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves, and trim back excessive growth if required. Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate to prevent rotting.

Placement: Anubias Nana is versatile and can be used as a midground or background plant, attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks. Ensure that the rhizome is exposed to prevent rot.

Water Parameters: Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH between 6.0-7.5.

Propagation: Propagate Anubias Nana through rhizome division or by taking cuttings. Ensure that each section has a portion of the rhizome, and attach it to the substrate or decor.
