Common Name: Anubias Nana Long Wavy

Anubias nana “Long Wavy” is a rare variation that makes a unique addition to your tank’s foreground. The plant has small, dark green, oblong and wavy shaped leaves with a hardy, waxy texture. These plants are tough and will accept a wide range of water parameters, making them perfect for beginners.

Anubias nana “Long Wavy” plants prefer a tank with good water circulation. Since they are slow growing they are prone to algae, especially under high light. These plants prefer low to moderate lighting. They can survive without CO2 injection, but will grow faster and larger with it. Anubias Nana “Long Wavy” propagates through its rhizome system. If the plant is healthy it should produce side shoots from its rhizome that you can separate and then allow to root in your tank. You can tie down the rhizome or let it float. Eventually it will sprout into another Anubias plant.

Anubias Nana “Long Wavy” rhizomes will attach to a rock, piece of driftwood, or other tank decoration, but they can also float or be planted. You can tie the plant down with thread or fishing line to encourage it to root in a specific spot. This plant can be grown either submersed or emersed, and works very well in bare-bottomed tanks. Anubias Nana “Long Wavy” works very well with a variety of tank mates, and can survive even the most active and aggressive fish species.
