{"product_id":"anubias-barteri-var-nana-on-lava-stone","title":"Anubias barteri var. nana on Lava Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Anubias barteri var. nana comes already mounted on a piece of lava stone, so it can go straight into a planted tank without any tying or anchoring. It suits shaded spots where many other plants struggle, and its tough leaves are left alone by herbivorous fish, giving tanks with grazing species a reliable, low-maintenance plant that holds its place for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnubias barteri var. nana is a small, slow-growing aquarium plant native to Cameroon, supplied here already fixed to a piece of lava stone rather than loose or potted. That makes it ready to place straight into a tank, with no need to tie it down or bury roots in substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits planted aquariums with areas of low light, since it's described as thriving in shady spots where other plants struggle to establish. It's also a sound choice for tanks that include herbivorous fish, as the leaves aren't eaten by grazing species, which helps keep foliage intact rather than stripped back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get is one Anubias barteri var. nana plant, mounted on its lava stone base, in the Standard size option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is slow, and established leaves can last for several years rather than dying back quickly. One side effect of that longevity is that slow-growing algae can settle on older leaves over time, as the source description notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, keep the plant mounted on the stone, or move it to a piece of tree root rather than planting it loose in the gravel. If it is planted directly in substrate, the rhizome needs to stay uncovered, since burying it tends to cause rot. Mature plants also flower fairly often while fully submerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounted on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLava stone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":57680867852661,"sku":"TRP-101-YLS","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/anubias-barteri-var-nana-on-lava-stone-standard.jpg?v=1792443092","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/anubias-barteri-var-nana-on-lava-stone","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
