Anubias barteri var. nana Large is a tough, easy aquarium plant with broad green leaves and a naturally slow-growing habit. It is a great choice when you want long-lasting structure on wood, stone or aquarium décor without constant trimming.
This larger-leaved form of Anubias nana gives more visual impact than the regular variety while still staying compact and manageable. It works especially well attached to hardscape, where the rhizome can remain exposed and the roots can gradually grip the surface.
Like all Anubias, it should not be buried in the substrate. Tie it to wood or rock using thread, fishing line or aquarium-safe plant glue until it secures itself naturally. Keeping the rhizome uncovered is important, as burying it can cause the plant to rot.
Growth is slow and steady, making this a dependable option for low-maintenance aquariums, beginner setups and aquascapes that need a reliable green focal point. Its durable leaves can last for years, helping create a mature, established look with very little fuss.

Anubias barteri var nana Large typically grows around 5-10 cm tall. The rhizome can extend 10-15 cm or more over time as the plant establishes.
Anubias barteri var nana Large is best attached to wood, rock or aquarium decor. It works well as a hardscape plant where its broad leaves can create a natural, established look.
The roots can sit near the substrate, but the rhizome must not be buried. Covering the rhizome can cause rot, so it is better to tie the plant to wood or rock with the rhizome exposed.
