Anubias Nana is one of the most widely used and beginner-friendly aquarium plants. This potted version arrives with an established root system, making it easy to attach to driftwood, rocks, or place among hardscape features. Known for its thick, dark green leaves and slow-growing nature, it’s ideal for low-tech tanks or shaded zones in higher-tech setups.
Because it’s an epiphyte, Anubias Nana should not be buried in substrate — instead, allow the rhizome to sit above gravel or anchor it with thread or glue to decor elements. Its durability and ability to thrive in various water parameters make it a long-lasting and reliable plant for any aquascaper.
