Anubias Nana
Anubias Nana
Anubias nana is a popular and hardy aquatic plant, favored by aquarists for its versatility and ease of care. It features small, dark green, and oval-shaped leaves that are thick and leathery, growing on short, sturdy stems. Typically reaching a height of 5-15 cm (2-6 inches), Anubias nana is well-suited for foreground and mid-ground placement in aquariums. Its slow growth rate and tolerance of a wide range of conditions make it an ideal choice for creating lush, green accents in aquascapes without requiring frequent maintenance.
Care Tips
- Provide low to moderate lighting to prevent algae growth on the leaves.
- Maintain a temperature range of 22-28°C (72-82°F).
- Ensure a neutral to slightly acidic pH of 6.0-7.5.
- Attach to rocks or driftwood instead of planting in the substrate to avoid rhizome rot.
- Regular cleaning of leaves helps prevent algae buildup.
- Does not require CO2 supplementation, but benefits from occasional fertilization.
