Anubias nana 'Bonsai' | Mini Epiphyte for Nano & Detail Aquascapes

Anubias nana 'Bonsai' is one of the smallest Anubias varieties available and has been specially selected for nano aquariums and detailed aquascapes. It is characterized by its extremely compact growth, very small, thick fleshy leaves, and exceptional form stability.

In this version, Anubias nana 'Bonsai' is supplied tied to hardscape (e.g., root or Nanowood) and is ready for immediate use. Like all Anubias, it should not be planted in the substrate – the rhizome remains free and continues to grow slowly but permanently healthy. Due to its small size, it is perfect for the foreground, small roots, stones, and fine layout details.
