Anubias Nana - Slow Growing Aquarium Plant

• HEALTHY & ROOTED - 5cm diameter pots which are rooted, healthy and ready to be shipped. We don't supply cuttings which makes these aquarium plants very different to other suppliers.
• SHRIMP SAFE - completely safe with shrimp and all fish. No need to rinse before hand either as they're ready to go.
• GROWN IN EUROPE - because all of our plants are grown in Europe, no pesticides are ever used. This means they're completely safe for your aquarium.
• READY TO SHIP TODAY - unlike most suppliers, Aqua Essentials keep all their plants in stock. In fact they're the largest plant supplier in the UK so you're in safe hands.
• ALGAE FREE - due to the way these aquarium plants are kept, they are algae and snail free. Whilst this is not a cast iron guarantee (only tissue culture can offer this) all the pots are kept above the water line which minimises any algae or snails.

Anubias nana is a small, slow-growing aquarium plant that is native to the tropical regions of West Africa. It is a popular plant among aquarium enthusiasts because of its attractive appearance and ease of care. Anubias nana is a member of the Araceae family and is characterized by its thick, dark green leaves, which grow up to 6cm long and 3cm wide. Anubias nana is an ideal plant for aquariums as it requires low to moderate lighting and does not need CO2 injection. It can be planted in aquarium substrate or attached to rocks or driftwood. The plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water and a temperature range of 22-28°C. Anubias nana is a slow-growing plant and may take several months to fully establish in an aquarium. Anubias nana can be propagated by dividing the rhizome, which is the thick stem that connects the plant's leaves to the roots. The rhizome should be carefully separated into smaller sections, each with several leaves and roots, and then replanted. The newly propagated plant should be anchored to the substrate or attached to rocks or driftwood. In addition to its aesthetic value, Anubias nana also provides a range of benefits to aquarium inhabitants. The plant provides shelter and hiding places for fish and other aquatic creatures, and can also help to maintain good water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Overall, Anubias nana is an attractive and low-maintenance plant that is well-suited to aquariums of all sizes. Its ease of care and ability to thrive in a range of conditions make it a popular choice for both novice and experienced aquarium keepers.
