Anubias Nana is the best plant for gardeners new to Aquascaping. It is a plant that more or less needs little maintenance after planting in the aquarium and will add much-needed shelter and safety for the smaller fish in your tank. Anubias Nana is slow growing and thrives on the waste that fish produce, keeping the tank clean and less likely to grow excess algae.

Best Locations For Growing Anubias Nana

Anubias Nana is one of many plants that can be used to decorate a freshwater aquarium, either with or without fish. The light levels are variable, and there is no need to add CO2 to the water. Anubias is the perfect starter plant.

Anubias Nana Sunlight Requirements

Aquascape plants mainly receive light from artificial light sources in the aquarium. The amount of plant material and natural light in the room will also affect the light quality in the tank. Anubias grows well with low to medium light levels.

Anubias Nana Care

Anubias Nana does not need to be planted in the aquarium substrate and grows best when the rhizomes are above the soil. Attaching the roots to a small piece of driftwood or rock helps to anchor the plant in one spot. The roots can also be anchored in the substrate as long as ½ of the rhizomes are above the material.

Watering Anubias Nana

Watering is not an issue. This plant is specifically for freshwater aquaculture.

Feeding Anubias Nana

Fertilizing Aquascape plants is not recommended. If these plants are grown with fish in the tank, they will absorb enough nutrients from the food and fish waste. Plants grown without fish are sustained from the algae and other nutrients found in the water. Overfertilizing will result in aggressive algae growth.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
