Anubias nana 'Bonsai' | Mini tree on coconut for aquarium

Anubias nana ‘Bonsai’ on Coconut is an extraordinary designer epiphyte that immediately catches the eye with its tree-like appearance and the natural coconut as a base. The plant forms a compact, spherical crown of dark green, leathery leaves, resembling a small underwater bonsai.

The coconut serves as a natural, decorative support and at the same time as a hiding place and structure for shrimp and small fish. The plant is already tied on and immediately ready for use. It is not planted in the substrate – the rhizome remains exposed and continues to grow slowly but permanently healthy. Ideal for nano aquariums, sand landscapes, aquascapes and creative layouts.
