Anubias barteri var. Glabra - Easy Low-Light Epiphyte
Anubias barteri var. glabra is a hardy epiphytic aquarium plant with elongated, dark green leaves that stay compact and elegant. Perfect for low-light tanks, it attaches easily to wood, rocks, or decor without rooting into substrate.
This species stays smaller than other Anubias varieties, making it ideal for foreground or midground placement in nano to large aquariums. Its slow growth and tough leaves make it highly shrimp-safe and resistant to herbivorous fish.
Avoid burying the rhizome to prevent rot. Minimal care is needed, with occasional removal of older leaves. Suitable for beginners and excellent for creating a natural, structured aquascape.
