Anubias Barteri (Nana) Rooted on Driftwood - Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant

Anubias Barteri (Anubias barteri) is a beginner-friendly live freshwater aquarium plant known for its rich dark green leaves and suitability for midground placement, adding depth and structure. This easy-care species grows at a slow, steady pace, requiring minimal trimming and maintenance.

This plant arrives pre-rooted on natural driftwood - ready to place directly into your aquarium for an instant natural look.

As an epiphytic plant, Anubias Barteri should be attached to rocks or driftwood rather than buried in substrate. Keep the rhizome exposed for best results and long-term health.

Important Notes

Live aquarium plants naturally vary in size, shape, and appearance at the time of shipment. Growth results depend on aquarium conditions, lighting, nutrients, and planting technique. Images are for reference only and may not represent the exact plant received.

We carefully inspect and prepare all plants before shipment and ensure they are pest-free at the time of packing. However, because live aquarium plants are natural products, occasional hitchhikers such as bladder snails or other microorganisms may appear after transit or acclimation, which is beyond our control.
