Anubias Nana Petite on Natural Lava Stone, Pre-Attached Aquarium Plant for Low-Light Foreground Layouts
Anubias Nana Petite on lava stone brings compact green detail to an aquarium foreground without glue or substrate preparation. The plant arrives secured to porous natural lava stone with aquatic thread, making it easy to rinse and position in your layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place Anubias Nana Petite on lava stone in my aquarium?
Rinse the pre-attached piece in clean water, then place it directly in your aquarium layout. Keep the stone and the plant's horizontal rhizome above the substrate so the rhizome remains exposed to water movement.
Does Anubias Nana Petite need CO2 injection or strong lighting?
Anubias Nana Petite does not require CO2 injection and suits low to moderate lighting. Optional CO2 and liquid fertilizer can encourage faster growth; avoid intense direct light.
Should I remove the thread holding the plant to the stone?
Leave the thread in place while the roots establish their grip on the lava stone. Once the roots have anchored, you can carefully snip and remove the thread or leave it in place.
Is this stone-mounted plant suitable for a nano aquascape?
Anubias Nana Petite suits nano aquascapes because its tiny leaves and compact clusters help create a small focal point. It also works as a foreground accent in larger aquariums.
