Description
Anubias nana Bonsai is a true miniature Anubias, prized for its very small, thick leaves and slow, controlled growth. It’s ideal for nano tanks, foreground detail, or attaching to hardscape where scale really matters. Compared to standard Anubias nana, the leaves are noticeably shorter and tighter, giving a neat, refined look that works well in minimal or high-end aquascapes.
Like all Anubias, it should be attached to wood or stone rather than planted in the substrate, as burying the rhizome will cause rot. Growth is slow but steady, even in low light, and CO2 is not required. Higher light and added nutrients will improve colour and leaf density, but keep lighting sensible to avoid algae settling on the leaves. A tough, undemanding plant that rewards patience rather than effort.

The plant arrived as healthy as it could be. Placed into a 200L Aquascape I've been working on and that deep GREEN against the backdrop of the Alternanthera Reineckii Rosanervig red is fantastic! Aquaessentials know their plants and know how to get them to you!
