Anubias Barteri Nana Long Wavy

Anubias Barteri Nana Long Wavy is a distinctive cultivar that combines elongated leaves with gently undulating, wavy margins that give each leaf a flowing, dynamic character. Reaching 5 to 8 inches, it is one of the taller nana cultivars. The rippling edges catch light differently from standard smooth-leaved Anubias, creating subtle visual texture and movement that adds life and variety to planted aquarium compositions.

Planting tip: Never bury the rhizome in substrate — Anubias Barteri Nana Long Wavy should always be attached to driftwood, rock, or other hardscape with the rhizome fully exposed. Use cotton thread or aquarium-safe adhesive to secure it, and the plant will anchor itself naturally over time.

The slow growth rate typical of Anubias means this distinctive leaf form is preserved over long periods.

Attachment to hardscape is essential for this rhizome plant. Secure Anubias Barteri Nana Long Wavy to driftwood or stone using thread or aquarium adhesive, ensuring the rhizome remains fully exposed. The elongated, wavy leaves display particularly well on textured wood or stone surfaces.
