✂️ Care
Never plant the rhizome under sand or gravel — the rhizome will rot away. Attach to large driftwood or stones with thin thread or aquarium glue. The plant will attach itself over time. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter tip
Combines beautifully with smaller Anubias species such as Anubias Nana (foreground) for a perfect layered effect. The deep dark green color creates a nice contrast with light green plants such as Anubias Nana Golden.
