    Description

    Anubias nana 'Gold' is one of the most distinctive Anubias varieties available, with leaves that glow with a warm yellow-green to golden tone rather than the deep green typical of most Anubias. Under good indirect lighting the golden colour is at its most vivid; under low light the leaves tend slightly darker.

    Care requirements are identical to standard Anubias nana: no CO2, happy in low to moderate light, and fixed to wood or rock rather than planted into substrate. Avoid direct intense lighting — slow-growing Anubias leaves are prone to algae under high light, and the lighter-coloured leaves of the Gold variety are more susceptible than the darker standard forms. Regular liquid fertilisation helps maintain the best colour.

    Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What makes Anubias nana Gold different?

    The leaves are a warm yellow-green to golden tone rather than the deep green typical of Anubias. Under good indirect lighting the golden colour is at its most vivid.

    Will the colour change?

    Under low light the leaves can become slightly darker. Very intense direct light can bleach them. Moderate indirect lighting gives the best golden tones.

    Does it need CO2?

    No — care requirements are identical to standard Anubias nana. Low maintenance, no CO2 required.

    How do I plant Anubias nana Gold?

    Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome — this causes rot.

    Does it benefit from fertiliser?

    Yes — regular liquid fertiliser helps maintain the golden leaf colour. Without nutrients the leaves can become paler and less vivid over time.
