Compact & Hardy Aquatic Plant

The Anubias barteri var. nana (Bonsai) is a miniature variation of the popular Anubias nana, boasting small, thick, deep-green leaves and an ultra-compact growth pattern. This slow-growing plant is perfect for aquascapers seeking to create intricate layouts in nano tanks or add fine details to larger aquariums. Its hardiness and low-maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.

Unlike stem plants, Anubias Bonsai thrives when attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks, making it a versatile addition to natural aquascapes.

Features We Love:

• Miniature Size: One of the smallest Anubias varieties, ideal for nano tanks and intricate aquascapes.
• Easy to Maintain: Extremely hardy and undemanding, thriving in low to moderate lighting.
• Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, stones, or placed in the substrate (rhizome above the soil).
• Great for Shrimp & Snails: Provides surface area for biofilm growth, benefiting shrimp and microfauna.

Care Guidelines:

• Light: Low to moderate.
• Temperature: 68 – 82F (20 – 28C).
• pH Range: 6.0 – 7.5.
• Growth Rate: Slow.
• Ideal Placement: Foreground or attached to hardscape.

Pro Tips:

• Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Attach it to driftwood or rocks instead.
• Avoid excessive lighting to prevent algae growth on its leaves.
• Great for low-tech tanks, as it does not require CO supplementation.
• Compatible with most livestock, including shrimp, snails, and peaceful fish.
• Minimal pruning needed, making it a hassle-free addition to any aquascape.
