This is one of my favourite plants for the aquarium keeping hobby.
I've bought this plant from Aqua Essentials (AE) on 2 occasions. On both occasions I've received an exceptionally healthy plant. The roots have been thick, healthy and bound throughout the container pot they grew up in.
This plant is great because at the age you purchase it and as it gets older, it casts some great shadows into your tank. It adds loads of layers and texture.
My red crystal shrimp love the nana and use it as a breeding ground. The bottom of the plant, by the roots, is very bushy. I can't quite see into it but I can tell it goes deep with leaves overlapping one another. This is a safe place for shrimp and I've had multiple adults at this point give birth within the plants dense leaf structure.
The top of the plant casts some greater shadows. As the leaves grow up, the stalk that holds them grows tall until it overlooks the rest of your tank. These broad leaves are a nice bed for shrimp or other fish that may lay on their belly to rest.
If you purchase one, please keep in mind you must glue this plant to an object such as a rock, wood or tank furniture. The roots of this plant collect nutrients from the water column instead of the substrate which is why it must be glued down. You must glue it to an object by its rhizome, if you don't glue it and decide to bury the plant, ensure you do not bury the rhizome or the plant will begin to rot and die. Bring scissors to your attempt at removing this plant from its pot, it may come a little entangled, but its so extremely worth any effort!

What can I say about this plant. I was looking for a plant for a central position in my aquarium and although I had seen tis one for sale often at AE but always given them a miss. This time I had to try one. The plant that arrived was a good size in excellent condition , well packed and very good delivery. All of which I have come to expect from Aqua Essentials. Thank again AE, keep up the good work.
Great product and quick delivery

Massive plant came. I thought nana was supposed to be small ahah. I trimmed it to my liking and it’s doing well but I heard it takes a while to die if it’s not happy so let’s see. Fingers crossed

My plant survived a delivery delay, all thanks to excellent packing. And it must be getting enough light, because the leaves have turned all red! What a bonus! Very pleased with it.
