✂️ Care
Anubias is an epiphyte and grows best when tied to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Tie the plant with a string or wire; after a few weeks, it will attach itself. Avoid covering the rhizome with substrate.
💡 Planter's tip
The elongated leaf shape provides an elegant accent — combine with broad-leaved species such as Anubias Barteri for variety in form.
