Anubias Nana Petite is a small, slow-growing aquatic plant that is popular in freshwater aquariums. It is a variation of the Anubias Nana plant species and is known for its tiny size, making it perfect for nano aquariums and small aquascapes.
Its leaves are dark green, thick, and leathery, with a pointed tip and rounded edges. The plant grows up to 5cm tall and has a spread of around 10cm. It is a rhizomatous plant, which means it grows horizontally, and new shoots emerge from the rhizome.
Anubias Nana Petite is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, making it ideal for beginners. It prefers low to moderate lighting and can thrive in both submerged and emersed conditions. It does not require CO2 injection, but it can benefit from liquid fertilizers.
To plant Anubias Nana Petite, attach it to rocks, driftwood, or other decor using a thin fishing line or super glue. Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate as this can cause it to rot. Instead, let the rhizome sit on top of the substrate, and the plant will root itself.
Overall, Anubias Nana Petite is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that can add color and texture to any aquascape.
