Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Short’ is a compact aquatic plant valued for its short growth habit, sturdy green leaves, and naturally dense appearance. Its smaller size makes it ideal for foreground placement, nano aquariums, and detailed aquascapes where a neat, low-growing plant is desired. This slow-growing Anubias thrives under low to moderate lighting and generally does not require additional CO₂. Attach the rhizome to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape rather than burying it in the substrate. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to maintain, Anubias nana ‘Short’ provides long-lasting greenery and beautiful natural texture in freshwater planted aquariums.
