Tropica Anubias var Nana (Low Tech)
Tropica Anubias var Nana is a small, attractive plant that thrives in all conditions.
It originates from Cameroon and will reach 5-10 cm height. The rhizome will be 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly, and the leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae the chance to become established. The best result is achieved by planting on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the plant until it gains a hold. If planted on the bottom the rhizome must not be covered because it tends to rot.
It flowers frequently under water and will thrive in shady places, where other plants will not. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

I bought this plant about a month ago. It has been doing great. I do not have CO2 but it has still been flourishing in the tank. Just be sure to keep it fully submerged! The plant I bought was also quite grown out already – amazing!

I got a very healthy and large portion, it has attached perfectly to my drift wood. Its expensive, but I feel it is worth it
