Anubias barteri var. nana is a small, attractive
plant which thrives in all conditions. It grows slowly, and the
leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae the
chance to become established. The best result is achieved by planting
on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the
plant until it gains a hold. If planted on the bottom the rhizome
must not be covered because it tends to rot. It flowers frequently
under water. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish. |
