Introduction:
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Jade', commonly known as Anubias nana 'Jade', is a captivating cultivar celebrated for its uniquely soft, jade-green foliage. Originating from the robust and adaptable Anubias barteri species found in West Africa, this plant offers a refreshing, cool-toned alternative to the traditional dark green Anubias varieties. Its compact size and hardy nature make it ideal for aquascaping in both small and large aquariums. Though not widely known by other names, some hobbyists may refer to it informally as "Jade Anubias."
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28°C
pH Range: 6.0–7.5
Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (2–12°dGH)
Nutrient Requirements:
Like other Anubias variants, 'Jade' is undemanding but benefits from a steady supply of micronutrients via root tabs or liquid fertilizers. While it does not require CO₂ injection, providing CO₂ and balanced nutrients can help maintain vibrant leaf color and healthy growth. Be mindful to avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to algae growth on the slow-growing leaves.
Tank Setup:
Best suited for attachment to hardscape elements such as rocks, driftwood, or ornaments, rather than direct planting in substrate. The rhizome should remain exposed to prevent rot. Fine gravel or sand can be used decoratively around its base. Moderate lighting is ideal to enhance its jade-green hues while minimizing algae buildup. A gentle water flow is recommended, replicating its natural habitat and ensuring leaf surfaces stay clean.
Care Tips:
To keep Anubias nana 'Jade' in peak condition, ensure it receives indirect, moderate light and keep the rhizome free from substrate coverage. Regularly inspect for algae and gently remove any buildup from the leaves. Prune yellowing or older leaves to stimulate new growth. Secure the plant to hardscape using aquarium-safe glue or fine fishing line, ensuring steady positioning as it slowly establishes.
Anubias nana 'Jade' offers aquarists a visually soothing plant with its cool, jade-green tones and compact, resilient growth. Perfect for aquascapers seeking a low-maintenance, yet aesthetically pleasing foreground or midground plant, its subtle charm enhances a variety of aquascape styles.
