Common Name: Anubias Nana Golden
This is the golden variant of the popular Anubias Nana. If you’re new to planted tanks and want to try growing for the first time, this is a good one to start with. It’s an extremely easy plant to grow and can survive a wide range of water parameters. Like other Anubias plants it can grow in both aquariums and terrariums either submerged or emersed.
Similar to other Anubias, Nana Golden can grow in aquariums, terrariums, and paludarium set ups, either submerged or emersed. Anubias are flowering plants that grow best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface such as wood or stones. They have low to medium light requirements and can benefit from regular fertilization. CO2 is not necessary but can promote faster growth and more robust leaves. Since it’s a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting.
Propagation is easy, cut apart the rhizomes and replant. Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot.
Notes:
- Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
- Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- These epiphytes can be planted above the substrate or attached to hardscape.
- Burying the rhizome, will cause the plant to melt and die
