✂️ Care

Never plant the rhizome under sand or gravel — the rhizome will rot. Attach it to wood or stone, or plant the rhizome just above the substrate. The plant will attach itself over time. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter's tip

The arrow-shaped leaves create a dramatic look in the background zone. Combines beautifully with smaller Anubias species for a layered effect.
