A compact, dwarf aquarium plant with small, thick, dark green leaves that is grown submerged. Key to success: keep the rhizome above the substrate and attach it to rock or wood.
Anubias barteri var. nana was first described by Adolf Engler in 1899 as A. nana. The species was reduced to varietal status in 1979.
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and has a temperature range of 20–28 °C (68–82 °F). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.
