| Anubias barteri var. nana (Engler) W.Crusio |
Anubias barteri var. nana grows along shallow portions of forest rivers in Cameroon, Africa, usually partially emersed. Tropica, a planted aquarium company in Europe, was the first to grow this plant commercially in the 1970s.
In aquaria, this decorative plant requires little in the way of special care from the aquarist. For example, it can grow in low light situations where most other aquatic plants would soon perish. Its only drawback is its slow growth, which often results in the accumulation of spot algae on the older leaves.
It is a plant with rhizome which lives in marsh. The leaves start from the rhizome and have a lance late shape. It is colored in dark green with a shining surface. It grows very low and it needs a big quantity of light, clean water and a temperature of 25° C. This aquatic plant reproduces by the rhizome. In the same time, on the rhizome there can be up to 6-8 small plants. These will only devise when they have proper roots. The maximum length is 10 cm.
