| Tropica Aquarium Plants was the first
nursery to grow Anubias barteri v. nana in
the 1970's. It is a very sturdy swamp plant and it often
set submerged flowers - it seems like the plant doesn't
realize it is growing submerged. It is slow growing and
should be offered low light regimes to avoid algal growth
on the leaves. It accepts all kind of freshwaters - hard
and soft, acid and alkaline. Anubias barteri v. nana prefers to grow the rhizome above or on the substrate surface and it is therefore very suitable for growth directly on rocks and roots. It is easily reproduced by dividing the rhizome and Tropica produces Anubias barteri v. nana on lava, roots, and in pots. You can greatly enhance the application of this plant - try to take a look at the article Plants cultivated on stones and tree roots! See also fish-proof plants from Tropica Aquarium Plants. |
