It stays under 5 cm tall with leaves only a centimetre or two across, so it fits on small pieces of rock and in the foreground of a nano tank where full-size Nana would look coarse. Its rhizome, the thick creeping stem the leaves grow from, reaches 5–10 cm and branches readily, so a single piece slowly builds into a dense clump. Care is the same as any Anubias: low light, no added CO2, very slow growth of perhaps a leaf every few weeks, and the rhizome must never be buried or it rots. Because the leaves are small and long-lived they gather biofilm, the microbial film shrimp graze, and the tight clump gives shrimp small gaps to shelter in. It is one of the easiest plants for a first tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"sz-acc__row\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"radio\" name=\"sz-acc-anubias-nana-petite\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sz-acc__panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e undemanding across the usual range of hardness, pH and tropical temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e glue or tie the rhizome to a stone or piece of wood with aquarium-safe cyanoacrylate gel glue or cotton thread.

CO2 injection (carbon dioxide gas added to speed growth) is not needed. Strong light mostly grows algae on the slow leaves, so place it in shade.
