{"product_id":"anubias-nangi","title":"Anubias Nangi | Anubias barteri var. nana × gilletii","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic Anubias hybrid with a distinctive, elongated leaf that sets it apart from the usual rounded forms. Nangi crosses the compact nana with the larger gilletii, giving a plant that stays manageable but carries longer, pointed foliage. Supplied as a clean, lab-grown tissue-culture cup — free of pests, snails and algae, and ready to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cultivated hybrid (Anubias barteri var. nana × Anubias gilletii) rather than a wild species, but its parents grow attached to rock and wood along shaded West African streams, often emersed. In the aquarium it wants the same shaded position, something solid to grip and stable tropical water, and grows well fully submerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eElongated, lance-shaped dark-green leaves, broader than nana but shorter than gilletii, on stalks 5–10 cm long from a creeping rhizome. A mature plant reaches roughly 15–25 cm tall. The thick leaves last for years, and like all Anubias it does not melt and regrow the way crypts do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlacement and Aquascaping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA midground plant, attractive on driftwood and larger stones where the longer leaves show. It is an epiphyte — never bury the rhizome, which will rot; attach it to hardscape and let only the roots reach substrate. Slow growth means little trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and Propagation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the tissue-culture gel from the roots, then tie or superglue the rhizome to wood or rock — do not bury it. Propagate by dividing the rhizome into sections, each with several leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow to moderate light suits it; strong light on a slow grower mainly encourages algae on the leaves. CO2 is not required, and it responds little to it, so a light liquid feed is enough. It tolerates 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5 and soft to hard water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnubias barteri var. nana × gilletii ('Nangi')\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnubias Nangi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCultivated hybrid (parents native to West Africa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15–25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeginner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidground (epiphyte)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLighting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow to moderate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCO2 Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFertilisation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiquid fertiliser (light feeder)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22–28 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0–7.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGH Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–15 dGH (very tolerant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropagation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRhizome division\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable (freshwater)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeginners, low-tech tanks, goldfish and cichlid tanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuitable Tank Mates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost anything — community fish, shrimp, snails, and even goldfish and most cichlids, which leave the tough leaves alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvoid Keeping With\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge rhizome-nibblers such as some big plecos and uaru, and very bright, exposed placement that invites green spot algae on the long-lived leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralian-grown aquarium plants for in-store collection or local delivery.
