Petite Anubias Nana (Anubias barteri var. “Petite Nana”) – EXTRA LARGE, Bare Root
Save yourself months or even years of waiting for growth from a standard size plant with this EXTRA LARGE portion!
Petite Anubias Nana (Anubias barteri “Petite Nana”) is a very in-demand Anubias variety for the home aquarium. Unlike many plants, Petite Anubias Nana attaches itself to and propagates on aquarium décor rather than growing with its roots buried in the substrate. “Petite” Anubias plants can grow to the same mass size as other similar plants of the genus, but their individual leaves are much smaller and more plentiful.
Petite Anubias Nana is relatively rare because it is very slow growing. It only requires low to moderate lighting and stable water conditions to thrive.

I bought this plant for my low-light tank and it has been thriving for over six months. The leaves are dense and spread well on the rocks. It’s a bit slow to grow, but worth the patience.

The bare root form arrived healthy and rooted quickly in my tank. I didn’t expect such a dense foliage from a slow-growing plant. Great for decorating without needing substrate.
