Anubias barteri var. nana cv. 'Bonsai' / 'Mini Mini'

Anubias barteri originates from tropical West Africa, where it typically grows on rocks along riverbanks. The rhizomes anchor themselves firmly to rocks, but also penetrate the soil and sometimes grow in the silt/mud of the rivers themselves. Within its large distribution area, the species is highly variable, and six accepted varieties exist. The plant offered here is the 'nana' variety from Cameroon, characterized by its particularly compact growth and small leaves. The cultivar (cv.) known as 'Bonsai' or 'Mini Mini' is distinguished by its even smaller final size. A true dwarf, it only reaches about 3 cm in height with leaves less than 2 cm long and 1 cm wide, borne on short petioles. One of the smallest Anubias species, it is therefore perfect for very small projects.

It grows absolutely without problems both in the aquarium as an epiphyte and in the tropical terrarium in a permanently moist location, as long as the rhizome is planted above ground.
