Anubias Minima on Christmas Moss Tower

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Minima on Moss Tower

Think of this clever combo as the Swiss Army knife of your aquascape. The Anubias Minima on Christmas Moss Tower blends long, vibrant green leaves with a thick carpet of moss to deliver a striking focal point that works in multiple orientations. It's a great addition to help you master your layout design, functioning as a majestic vertical pillar or flipping sideways to become a cozy, moss-covered sanctuary for your favorite tank inhabitants, such as small fish or shrimp.

Key Features & Benefits

• The innovative vertical tower design lets you add immediate height and lush green architecture to your tank without waiting months for slow-growing plants to catch up.
• Placing the tower horizontally creates a secret, cozy cave system that offers the perfect stress-free hiding spot for your shyest shrimp and nano fish.
• Both hardy species used on this tower easily tolerate low light and low carbon dioxide conditions so you can enjoy a vibrant display without buying expensive equipment.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Place the tower directly onto your substrate either vertically as a pillar or horizontally as a cave without burying any part of the green Anubias rhizome. Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to melt and die!
• Provide an occasional trim to the Christmas moss using sharp aquascaping shears to keep its shape compact and ensure it never blocks light from reaching the Anubias leaves.
• Propagate your thriving tower in the future by cleanly snipping the moss strands or carefully slicing the Anubias thick base stem to create entirely new plant starts.
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in the melting and rotting of the aquarium plant.
  
• CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
