How to Plant Anubias Nana
1. Remove the plant from plastic bag and carefully remove it from the damp liner.
2. The anubias can be planted as one single plant or gently separated into smaller plant clumps by cutting the rhizome.
3. Insert each plant clump between a crack in a rock or more firmly attach them to decor using super glue gel. Be careful not to bury the rhizome or the plant may suffer.

How to Care for Anubias Barteri var. Nana
— Anubias nana care is very easy, so start by using low lighting between 10-20 PAR. Too much light may cause excess algae growth, so if you are using a brighter light, consider placing the anubias further away from the light or under the shade of taller or floating plants.
— Why is my anubias turning yellow or brown? It may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. If the anubias continues to grow poorly, consider dosing Easy Potassium fertilizer in addition to Easy Green for extra potassium.
— How to trim Anubias Nana: If the anubias has dying or melting leaves, trim them off at the base of the leaf without damaging the rhizome.
How to Propagate Anubias Nana
— Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the rhizome and split into two plants. Plant the two sections as normal.

I ordered last month and received a few days later. I waited to review to have the time to see it would survive. The first time I tried to grow plants was a disaster. I tried planting in gravel and used no fertilizer. This time I planted in Fluval Stratum. Plus I feel buying from Aquarium Co op gave the plants a head start. I have already had to trim the stem plants from this order. I feel because I also ordered 10 plants they consumed enough nutrients that I have had little issue with algae.

Shipped good 👍 got 3 from one plant there was 2 little ones wrapped up in it

Plants came in perfect condition. Packaging was excellent. Placed them in my tank and I haven’t had any problems. Very clean (no hitchhiker snails) that’s the number one reason I order my plants from Aquarium Co-op. Have not had any melting with any of the plants I received in my order. I’m very happy with all the products from Aquarium Co-op. Thanks Cory

The plants arrived in good condition, very well packed. I'm happy with my plants.

Arrived alive and ready to plant. Got it in my tank. I’ve been running the lights while I’m not sleeping. It’s only been planted for a few days, but I can see some new growth already. Looks great in my Fluval Betta 6 Gallon Tank.

Plants were packaged with care, including a complimentary heat pack (it has been very chilly here in Wisconsin). Upon opening my Anubias Nana, I was happy with how healthy the leaves looked. I will say that the roots were a but juvenile. It was also advertised as a mid/foreground plant I believe; however, it is much taller than other Anubias I have in my tank. That isn’t exactly what I was looking for. About 5 days after putting my Anubias in the tank, it started showing signs of Abubias rot…it arrived with 3 leaves and now I am down to 2. I did not plan rhizome in the substrate, so that is not the issue. It’s been getting about 6-8 hours of low/medium light. I may not purchase again.

It arrived in excellent condition. It has done very well in my aquarium over the last few months doubling in size. Note, something in this order came with bladder snails.

The color and quality of plant I received was on point and great. The plant has done well in last few weeks after I received it...

Bigger plant than I expected; what's in my photo is 1 pot worth, it was enough to split in half and still had two good-sized clumps very happy with it!
D
I’ve ordered two of these now and both I glued to wood or a rock and so far they are doing great and growing new leaves , both had a great root system and were green and healthy upon arrival, I’m sure I’ll get more of them in the future
M
Great looking plant. It's been in the tank around a week now. No complaints.

I have a couple of these plants in my tank! They are easy and look beautiful. People always think they are fake plants lol

First ibwantvto say thank you to aquarium co-op for the caring and hard work they put in to thier products and thier customers. My name is Mark and I bought four anubias nanna plants from aquarium co-op and I am so excited to see them in my aquariums.. like all the plants I have purchased from aquarium co-op, these anubias plants are thriving with no melting back and looks amazing. They shipped out and arrived fast and are top quality plants. I would recomend aquarium co-op to everyone.

I am happy with my purchase . In total I think I purchased 13 plants from aquarium coop . Arrived healthy with great root systems .

Beautiful little plants. Easy to grow. Almost all of my plants are from Aquarium Co-op

The Anubias Nana I received looked way better than the web site picture. It had no damage from shipping. Very very happy with it.
A
Excellent experience ordering from you guys. Very quickly and my plants arrived perfectly. Set up with the quick potting rocks was super easy as well as adding the fertilizer tablets. Thanks hope to keep my new aquarium happy. I placed these two plants each in 10 gallon aquariums for my bettas. I also love all your videos, they are very informative and helpful for a beginner like me. My red veiltail betta already loves the anubia and went to sleep in it on the first night that I placed this plant. Highly recommend Aquarium Co-op! I will definitely buy more.

Anabias plants are flowering after about a year in tank. Thanks co op! Very easy plant to keep

Plant dropped all its leaves from the base. Rhizome is rotten. Wasted money. Customer service replaced the plant quickly. Add 2 stars

I lost all four of my Anubias Nana to Anubias Rot within days of planting into my 16 gallon Fluval Flex. Contacted AQ Coop customer service and they did an excellent job making it right. I purchased Anubias Nangi and have had a great experience. I would just be wary of purchasing Anubias Nana at this time until they have a different batch. Would purchase from the Coop again for sure!!!
E
They look so healthy compared to the almost zero ones here!
