✂️ Care
Anubias is an epiphyte and grows best tied to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Secure the plant with string or thread; it will attach itself after a few weeks.
💡 Planter's tip
The lance-shaped leaves provide a graceful, elegant accent — combine with broad-leaved species for variety in form.
