Anubias nana ‘Bonsai’ | Mini Tree Epiphyte for Aquariums

Anubias nana 'Bonsai' is an exceptional cultivated form, specially designed as a mini-tree look for aquariums. The plant grows on a small trunk and forms a compact, spherical crown of dark green, leathery leaves – exactly as shown in the picture. This creates the impression of a bonsai tree growing underwater.

This variant is already designed and ready for immediate use. It is not planted, but placed directly in the aquarium. The rhizome remains free, ensuring continuously healthy growth. Due to its small size, Anubias 'Bonsai' is perfect for nano aquariums, Iwagumi layouts, detailed aquascapes and creative underwater landscapes.
