Anubias Nangi Plant

Common Name: Anubias Nangi

Anubias Nangi is a hybrid variant of Anubias created from crossing Anubias Nana and Anubias Gillette. This Anubias type was first created by Robert A Gasser and has been commonly available to hobbyists since.

Anubias is native to the tropical regions of Africa where it can be found growing along streams, rivers, and marshes. It’s a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface such as wood or stones. They have low to medium light requirements and can benefit from regular fertilization. CO2 is not necessary but can promote faster growth and more robust leaves. Since it’s a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting.

Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.

Notes:

• Anubias are strong plants that can thrive in a variety of environments.
• These epiphytes can be planted into the substrate or attached to a hardscape.
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot.
• CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
