Anubias barteri var. nana cv. 'Round Leaf' / 'Coin'

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 variety 'nana' from Cameroon, distinguished by its particularly compact growth and small leaves. When fully grown, it is less than a third the size of the nominate form. Its leaves reach approximately 5 to 8 cm in length, and it grows to only about 10 cm tall. The cultivar (cv.) known as 'Round Leaf' or 'Coin' is further distinguished by its strikingly round, broad leaves.

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.



You will receive a strong young plant in a 6cm pot, approximately 10 to 15cm tall.
