Anubias Nana Petite on Lava Stone

Plant Profile

If you want to skip the messy superglue stage and get straight to the part where your tank looks amazing, Anubias Nana Petite on Lava Stone is your answer. We took the rockstar of miniature aquatic plants, celebrated for its tiny, dark green leaves and compact clusters, and pre-bound it directly to a porous piece of natural lava stone using aquatic thread. Because lava rock is naturally textured and full of micro-crevices, the roots will firmly anchor themselves over time, allowing you to snip the thread later (or just leave it be). It's the ultimate plug-and-play addition for lazy days, nano scapes, or even as an anchor point to attach a bit of aquatic moss to later!

Key Features & Benefits

• Zero glue, no messy tying, and no substrate prep required!
• Porous lava stone provides an ideal surface for roots to grip while offering a rich contrast to green leaves.
• Stays small, making it a fantastic scale-building focal point for nano setups or a high-detail accent in larger tanks.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Plug and play! Simply rinse the piece in clean water and place it directly wherever you want it in your aquarium layout.
• Do not bury the stone or the plant's base in your substrate! Keep the horizontal rhizome fully exposed to open water movement to prevent rot.
• The plant is held securely with string; once its roots naturally grip the porous lava rock after a few weeks, you can carefully snip and remove the line if desired.
• Provide low to moderate lighting and stable water parameters. Optional CO2 and liquid fertilizer will boost growth speed, but this bulletproof duo will happily thrive without high-tech gear.
• Position away from intense, direct light and ensure healthy water flow to prevent slow-growing leaves from collecting unwanted spot algae.
