Overview

Anubias barteri var. nana Bonsai, also referred to as Anubias Mini, is a compact and versatile aquatic plant that is perfect for nano tanks or as a delicate accent in larger aquascapes. Its small, round leaves grow densely on a short rhizome, creating a lush, bushy appearance. Renowned for its durability, this plant is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Anubias Mini thrives in low to medium light and does not require CO2 supplementation, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums. It is often used in foreground placements, tied to hardscape, or as a subtle filler for intricate aquascaping designs.

  • Hardy and Low Maintenance: Extremely durable and easy to care for, requiring minimal attention.
  • Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or even mesh for unique aquascaping applications.
  • Slow Growth: Its slow-growing nature means less frequent trimming and maintenance.

Care Requirements

  • Lighting: Prefers low to medium light; avoid direct, high-intensity light to prevent algae growth on leaves.

  • Water Parameters: Thrives in a range of water conditions with a pH between 6.0-7.5 and temperatures of 22-28°C.

Planting Tips

  • Attach to Hardscape: Secure the rhizome to driftwood, rocks, or mesh using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Ensure the rhizome is not buried to avoid rot.
  • Foreground Placement: Ideal for the foreground due to its small size and dense growth habit.
  • Propagation: Divide the rhizome into smaller sections, ensuring each has at least one leaf; these can then be attached to new hardscape elements or planted in different areas.
