Common Name: Anubias Short and Sharp

Anubias Short and Sharp is an uncommon variant of Anubias characterized by the short and slender leaves. It is extremely easy to grow and can survive a wide range of water parameters. This is 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 its a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting. This plant is suitable as a midground and background as the leaves can grow up to 6” long.

The plant can be attached directly onto driftwood, rocks or any aquarium decoration using thread or glue.  Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot.  Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.
