Anubias Minima Dragon Claw

Anubias without the rounded leaves. Anubias Minima Dragon Claw carries elongated, narrow, dark green leaves with an irregular curved outline that gives the plant its name — a spiky, angular silhouette where most Anubias read soft and broad. Same toughness, entirely different shape.

Grower’s Notes

• Shape is the reason to buy it. If your scape already has broad-leaved Anubias, adding more of the same reads as bulk. Dragon Claw's narrow angular leaves give contrast within the same genus — and the same care regime.
• Never bury the rhizome. Glue or tie it to wood or stone; roots can enter substrate, the rhizome cannot. Buried rhizomes rot.
• Slow growth means very little maintenance, but it also means damaged leaves stay damaged. Trim old leaves at the rhizome rather than waiting for them to recover.
• Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves per section.
• Tough enough for tanks with cichlids or large fish that destroy softer planting.
