Anubias Barteri var. nana
Rarely taller than 5”, Ph range between 6.0 and 9.0, and temperature between 72 and 82. Lighting requirements are not a huge concern for this plant as they will grow in low as well as in strong lighting. Anubias nana grows quite slowly and rarely grows more than 8 to 10 leaves a year. These same leaves can survive for years and are prone to algae. This plant is quite easy to keep. They can be kept as foreground plants directly rooted in the sand or gravel. In this case, it is important to not to cover the rhizome as it would rot. This also grow great when you attach this plant to a piece of rock or wood. Use fishing line to secure the plant. To reproduce this plant, simply divide the rhizome in two pieces and plant/attach it somewhere else in the tank. I love this plant and have it growing on rock, driftwood and directly on the substrate.
