Description
This beautiful new selection of the Dwarf Anubias is named after the Far Eastern mythical creature Kirin that is illustrated with one or two horns and scales. This plant is particularly distinguished by its strongly wavy, frilled leaf edges, thereby resembling a Bucephalandra. It is somewhat smaller and more compact than normal Anubias barteri var. nana. Its ovate, dark green, glossy leaves have about 3 to 4 cm long, 1.5 to 2.3 cm wide blades. The plant gets about 5 to 8 cm high while its horizontal growth is practically unlimited due to its creeping rhizomes.
The favourable temperatures are 22 to 28℃. The plant is easily propagated by cuttings of the rhizome and side shoots.
