✂️ Care

Anubias is an epiphyte and grows best when tied to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Secure the plant with string or thread; after a few weeks, it will attach itself. Well-suited for less lit zones in the aquarium.

💡 Planting Tip

Thanks to its shade tolerance, it is ideal for spots under floating plants or in the shadow of larger hardscape elements.
