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.

Key Features & Benefits
- The innovative vertical tower design lets you add immediate height and lush green architecture to your tank.

- Both hardy species used on this tower easily tolerate low light and low carbon dioxide conditions.
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 to prevent the plant from melting or rotting.
- Occasionally trim the Christmas moss using aquascaping shears to maintain its compact shape.
- Propagate your thriving tower in the future by cleanly snipping the moss strands or carefully slicing the Anubias' rhizome.
- Maintain stable conditions to support smooth acclimation and reduce leaf loss.
- COâ‚‚ is optional but improves growth and leaf density.
