✂️ Care

Anubias is an epiphyte and grows best attached to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Tie the plant with a string or wire; after a few weeks, it will attach itself. Due to its size, it is most suitable for medium to large aquariums.

💡 Planting tip

Place it on a larger piece of hardscape in the background to allow its full size to shine.
