Anubias Nana Petite
Anubias Nana Petite is one of the most popular varieties of Anubias. Like other Anubias species, it’s very easy to care for and can thrive in a wide range of water conditions. This plant can be grown in both aquariums and terrariums, whether submerged or partially above water.
As a flowering plant, Anubias Nana Petite grows best when its rhizome is secured to a solid surface like wood or stones. It requires low to medium light and benefits from regular fertilization. While CO2 isn't essential, it can enhance growth and lead to healthier leaves. Since this plant grows slowly, it can be prone to algae if placed in overly bright light. Propagation is simple: just cut or separate the rhizomes for replanting.
