Anubias Glabra (Bare Root) is a resilient, low-maintenance aquarium plant that’s perfect for adding natural greenery to a wide range of freshwater setups. With its narrow, elongated leaves and sturdy rhizome, Anubias Glabra works beautifully in nano tanks, community aquariums, and planted displays. It thrives in low to moderate light and is an excellent choice for aquarists who want an attractive plant without high-tech requirements.
Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Low to moderate light; does well in shaded areas under taller plants or hardscape
- CO₂: Not required, but will tolerate CO₂-enriched systems
- Placement: Suitable for midground or attached to rocks and driftwood
- Growth Rate: Slow to moderate, making it easy to manage and trim
Planting & Maintenance:
As a rhizome plant, Anubias Glabra should not have its rhizome buried. Attach it to driftwood, rocks, or decor using glue or fishing line, or place it gently on top of the substrate with the rhizome exposed. Remove any damaged or older leaves as needed to keep the plant looking fresh and healthy.
Compatibility:
This plant is safe with most freshwater fish, shrimp, and snails. Its tougher leaves are less likely to be eaten by herbivorous species, and the dense foliage provides great cover for shrimp and small fish.
Additional Information:
- Ideal for low-tech and beginner-friendly planted tanks
- Helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients
- Works well in natural-style aquascapes and shrimp tanks
Choose Anubias Glabra (Bare Root) if you want a hardy, attractive aquarium plant that’s easy to care for and perfect for adding lush, green structure to your aquascape.
