Tropica Anubias barteri nana Aquarium Plant on Wood | Anubias Aquarium Plant

No planting required with this one. Anubias barteri nana arrives from Tropica already attached to a piece of wood, which means the fiddliest part of keeping a rhizome plant — fixing it in the layout — has been done at the nursery before the box is ever sealed. In our catalogue it lives in the Plants on Wood section, under the Anubias family.

The record describes a plant with friendly credentials. Botanically it is Anubias barteri nana, the final word of the name — nana — being Latin for dwarf, a detail carried in the name itself. The growth habit is logged as rhizomatous, meaning it grows from a rhizome rather than a rooted stem. And the care grade is Easy, the rating that signals approachable upkeep. Live plant, recognised grower, ready-mounted presentation: a tidy package all round.

As with every live plant we list, success is a partnership between the plant and your setup. The product note asks you to check light, fertiliser and CO2 needs against your planted aquarium layout, and that check belongs before checkout, not after delivery. Know your lighting, know your dosing, and make sure both suit what this Anubias asks of them.

Wood-mounted listings also suit keepers who like to rearrange. Because the plant and its mount move as one piece, repositioning later is a matter of lifting and resettling the wood, not uprooting anything. Many keepers run their first rescape exactly this way — moving one mounted plant until the layout clicks — and the wood format is what makes the experiment painless. That flexibility is part of what you are buying alongside the plant itself.

Good to know before checkout

You are buying one wood-mounted plant per unit, in stock as shown. Because the plant comes on its own piece of wood, placement is as simple as choosing where the wood sits — so think about that position in your layout before ordering, and add any companion plants to the same basket. Hardscape-mounted stock like this is also a gentle way to refresh an established tank, since nothing needs digging into the substrate.
