- Divide: Divide the plants into smaller portions for multiple locations
- Placement: Attach to small stones or wood, or plant the rhizome just above the substrate
- Adjustment: Give the plant 1-2 weeks to get used to underwater growth
- Growth: The plant will attach itself and continue to grow

Combination tips
Combine the Ecoscape Anubias Bonsai with other in vitro plants for a completely algae- and snail-free aquarium. It also pairs perfectly with slightly larger Anubias varieties such as Anubias Nana Petite or Anubias Nana Mini for a layered effect. For a classic iwagumi style, you can mount the plant on very small Seiryu or Dragon stones.
Note: In vitro plants are grown above water and need 1-2 weeks to acclimate to underwater growth. Some leaves may die during this period, but the plant will produce new leaves underwater. This is normal and not a cause for concern. Ecoscape guarantees premium quality in vitro plants.
