Anubias barteri var. nana on wood

Anubias barteri var. Nana rooted in a piece of mangrove wood.
Anubias barteri var. Nana is a small, attractive plant that thrives in all conditions. It comes from Cameroon and is 5-10 cm tall. The rhizome is 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly, and the leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae a chance to establish. Best results are obtained by planting on a stone or tree root; it often flowers under water. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.
