Anubias nana clump
$150.00
Anubias barteri var. nana is a compact, hardy epiphytic plant cherished for its thick, deep green, arrow-shaped leaves that grow slowly from a creeping rhizome. Native to the shaded streams and rocky riverbeds of West Africa, this resilient species thrives when attached to driftwood or stone, forming dense, bushy clumps that add structure and texture to any aquascape. Its tough, leathery foliage deters most herbivorous fish, making it one of the most reliable and versatile plants available. A clump offers instant impact, with multiple established growth points ready to anchor and flourish. An ideal choice for beginners and seasoned aquascapers alike.
