✂️ Care

Anubias is an epiphyte and grows best when tied to wood or stone — not planted in the substrate. Secure the plant with string or thread; after a few weeks, it will attach itself. Avoid covering the rhizome with substrate, as this can cause rot. Particularly suitable for cichlid aquariums due to its sturdy, insensitive leaves.

💡 Planter's Tip

Combine with other shade-loving plants such as Bucephalandra or moss species for a layered, natural hardscape.
