Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Bonsai’, commonly known as Anubias Mini, is a compact and versatile aquatic plant, ideal for nano tanks or as a delicate accent in larger aquascapes. Its small, round leaves grow densely on a short rhizome, creating a lush, bushy appearance. Renowned for its durability, this slow-growing plant thrives in low to medium light and does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it perfect for low-tech aquariums.
Compact Size: Tiny, round leaves grow close together, perfect for foreground use or nano aquariums.
Hardy and Low Maintenance: Extremely durable, easy to care for, and requires minimal attention.
Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or mesh for unique aquascaping applications.
Slow Growth: Minimal trimming needed; maintains a dense, bushy appearance over time.
Lighting: Prefers low to medium light; avoid high-intensity direct light to prevent algae growth.
CO₂: Not necessary, but may promote slightly faster growth.
Water Parameters: Thrives in a pH range of 6.0–7.5 | Temperature 22–28 °C.
Growth Rate: Slow; maintains compact growth with minimal maintenance.
Trimming: Remove occasional yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain health.
Attach to Hardscape: Secure the rhizome to driftwood, rocks, or mesh using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Do not bury the rhizome to prevent rot.
Foreground Placement: Ideal due to its small size and dense growth habit.
Propagation: Divide the rhizome into smaller sections, ensuring each has at least one leaf; attach to new hardscape elements or plant in different areas.
