Anubias Nana Bonsai is a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to surfaces such as wood or stone. 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.

• Anubias are strong plants that can thrive in a variety of environments.
