About this plant
A compact dwarf anubias with tough, dark green leaves, ideal for small tanks, foregrounds and tying onto wood or rock. It thrives in low light, needs no CO₂ and is ignored by almost all fish, so it suits pleco, cichlid and shrimp tanks alike.
Care
Tie or glue the rhizome (the thick creeping stem) to wood or rock, or wedge it between stones. Never bury the rhizome: it rots. Low to medium light; in bright light, shade it slightly to stop algae settling on the slow-growing leaves.
Feeding
Needs little. A liquid fertiliser now and then keeps leaves dark green. CO₂ is not needed.
