Anubias nana | Epiphytic plant tied to Spiderwood

Anubias nana on Spiderwood is a decorative, ready-to-use epiphytic plant, where the compact Anubias nana is tied onto fine, branched Spiderwood. The delicate branches of the Spiderwood emphasize the natural character of the plant and make it a real eye-catcher in the aquarium.

The dark green, leathery leaves of the Anubias provide a beautiful contrast to the light, branched structure of the Spiderwood. The plant is not planted in the substrate – the rhizome remains free and grows slowly but very steadily. Ideal for nano aquariums, aquascapes, shrimp tanks, and shady areas in the midground.
