Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plant it straight into the substrate?
Can I plant it straight into the substrate?
Yes, but the rhizome needs to stay above the substrate surface, since covering it can cause it to rot.
Will herbivorous fish eat it?
Will herbivorous fish eat it?
According to the grower, it is not eaten by herbivorous fish.
How do I attach it to wood or rock?
How do I attach it to wood or rock?
Fishing line can be used to hold the rhizome against the hardscape until it takes hold on its own.
How big does it get?
How big does it get?
It typically reaches 5-10 cm in height, with the rhizome growing to 10-15 cm or more.
A slow-growing rhizome plant from Cameroon that anchors to wood or rock instead of rooting in substrate, suiting aquascapers who want a stable centrepiece for planted community tanks, including those with herbivorous fish. Its unhurried growth helps keep maintenance light, since the leaves last for several years before needing to be trimmed back.
Anubias barteri var. nana 'Large' is a rhizome plant native to Cameroon that is grown attached to hardscape rather than planted directly into substrate. This makes it suited to aquascapers who want a fixed point of structure in the layout rather than a plant that needs regular replanting.
Its slow growth habit helps keep upkeep low, as the leaves survive for several years before they need removing or trimming. The grower notes that it is not eaten by herbivorous fish, which makes it a steadier choice for tanks where softer-leaved plants would otherwise get stripped.
You receive a pack of five pots of Anubias barteri var. nana 'Large', supplied ready to be attached to wood or rock, or positioned on the substrate surface with the rhizome left exposed. Wood or rock for mounting is not included and will need to be sourced separately, since the recommended method is to fix the rhizome to hardscape using fishing line until it takes hold on its own.
What sets this plant apart within a planted tank is its anchoring habit: it does not need to be buried to grow, it flowers occasionally underwater once established, and its longer-lived leaves mean the display changes shape more slowly than with fast-growing stem plants.
