✂️ Care
Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Divide the plants into smaller portions. Never plant the rhizome in the substrate — attach it to small stones or wood. The plant will attach itself over time. Allow 1–2 weeks to acclimatize to underwater growth.
💡 Planter's tip
Combines beautifully with slightly larger Anubias species like Anubias Nana Petite or Anubias Nana Mini for a layered effect. Ideal for Iwagumi-style aquascapes on small stones.
