Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plant this in the substrate like a normal rooted plant?
Can I plant this in the substrate like a normal rooted plant?
No. It should be attached to a piece of wood or rock instead of being planted into the substrate.
Does the rhizome need to be buried?
Does the rhizome need to be buried?
No, the rhizome should stay uncovered once attached. Covering it can cause it to rot and affect the plant's survival.
How much light does it need?
How much light does it need?
It tolerates low-light conditions, so it works in tanks that aren't running strong lighting.
How big do the leaves get?
How big do the leaves get?
The leaves are ovate, dark green, and strongly wavy at the edges, growing to roughly 3 to 4cm.
Is this a fast grower that will need regular trimming?
Is this a fast grower that will need regular trimming?
No, it's a slow-growing plant, so it won't quickly outgrow its position in the aquascape.
A compact foreground plant grown for leaves that curl and ripple at the edges far more than typical Anubias, giving aquascapes a different texture from smoother-leaved varieties. It tolerates low light and keeps a settled, slow-growing shape once attached to wood or rock rather than planted into substrate.
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Kirin' is a slow-growing aquarium plant with leaves that curl and ripple at the edges far more than typical Anubias nana, a texture said to be inspired by Asian dragon artwork. It suits aquascapers after a foreground plant for shaded or low-light areas of the tank. The gradual growth rate helps keep a planted layout settled, since it won't quickly change shape or need reshaping.
What you get is a pack of five pots, with the plants ready to be removed from their growing medium and fixed onto hardscape. This plant should be attached to a piece of wood or rock rather than planted into substrate, and wood or rock isn't included, so have a suitable surface ready before it arrives.
What sets 'Kirin' apart from other Anubias cultivars is the strength of its leaf waviness: ovate, dark green leaves measuring 3 to 4cm that curl noticeably more than smoother-leaved types. Keep the rhizome uncovered once it's attached, since burying it can lead to rot and affect the plant's survival.
