    Plant Sizes

    Just wanted to give you a heads up that the image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

    Anubias nana is a small, slow-growing aquarium plant that is native to the tropical regions of West Africa. It is a popular plant among aquarium enthusiasts because of its attractive appearance and ease of care. Anubias nana is a member of the Araceae family and is characterized by its thick, dark green leaves, which grow up to 6cm long and 3cm wide.

    Anubias nana is an ideal plant for aquariums as it requires low to moderate lighting and does not need CO2 injection. It can be planted in aquarium substrate or attached to rocks or driftwood. The plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water and a temperature range of 22-28°C. Anubias nana is a slow-growing plant and may take several months to fully establish in an aquarium.

    Anubias nana can be propagated by dividing the rhizome, which is the thick stem that connects the plant's leaves to the roots. The rhizome should be carefully separated into smaller sections, each with several leaves and roots, and then replanted. The newly propagated plant should be anchored to the substrate or attached to rocks or driftwood.

    In addition to its aesthetic value, Anubias nana also provides a range of benefits to aquarium inhabitants. The plant provides shelter and hiding places for fish and other aquatic creatures, and can also help to maintain good water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and producing oxygen through photosynthesis.

    Overall, Anubias nana is an attractive and low-maintenance plant that is well-suited to aquariums of all sizes. Its ease of care and ability to thrive in a range of conditions make it a popular choice for both novice and experienced aquarium keepers.

      Epic plant

      (Anunias Nana - plant pictured, attached to the fake wood in the middle)

      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!
