Medium-sized Anubias
Robust, undemanding
Narrowly lanceolate leaf shape
Spreading growth habit
 
Anubias barteri var. nana "Minima" is just as undemanding and robust as other A. barteri forms. It is primarily a perching plant that attaches itself with its roots to the hardscape (rock, driftwood), but can also be attached to the substrate (but do not bury the rhizome!). Temperatures between around 22 and 26 °C are ideal. The plant needs little light, but develops better with moderate lighting. It has no particular requirements in terms of water chemistry, but develops best with a complete supply of nutrients via the water column. The addition of CO2 is also very beneficial to its growth, but is not absolutely necessary. Propagation takes place by dividing the rhizome.
