Anubias barteri var. nana on lava rock - Tropica

Anubias barteri var. nana on lava stone.

THERE'Anubias barteri var. nana is a small and attractive plant that thrives in all conditions. It is native to Cameroon and reaches the 5-10 cm height. The rhizome reaches 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly and leaves survive for several years, giving the possibility to slow-growing algae to settle. The best result is obtained by planting on a stone or tree root. If planted on the bottom, the rhizome should not be covered because it tends to rot.

It often blooms under water and thrives in shady places, where other plants fail. It's not eaten by herbivorous fish.
