Anubias barteri var. nana · Golden

A compact Anubias form selected for yellow-green foliage; leaf color varies with growth conditions.

Planting and placement

Attach the rhizome to wood or stone, or position it above the substrate. Roots may grow into the substrate, but burying the rhizome can cause rot. Leave room around the leaves and avoid tightly covering the plant.

Light and nutrition

Low to moderate aquarium lighting is usually sufficient. Added carbon dioxide can improve growth but is generally not essential. Supply balanced nutrients as needed, and avoid intense light that promotes algae on slower-growing foliage.

Growth and maintenance

Use in a freshwater aquarium and maintain regular water changes and gentle circulation around the planting. Plants grown above water may shed older leaves while producing submerged growth; remove decaying material and allow time to settle. Mature height and coloration vary with light, nutrients, pruning, and conditions. Rinse and inspect plants before introduction, remove packaging and growing material carefully, and consider separate observation where sensitive shrimp or pest exclusion are priorities.
