Description

Anubias afzelii

Anubias afzelii was previously sold incorrectly as Anubias congensis. Anubias afzelii is a great aquarium plant because it is so strong and easy to grow in the aquarium.  Anubias afzelii has wide upright green leaves make it graceful and a good addition to any aquarium. Anubias afzelii and most of the other Anubias varieties are great choices for aquarium plants to use in planted cichlid tanks.

The rhizome must be kept above the substrate surface, or it can rot. Only the white roots should be buried. As with all Anubias, they can be planted on driftwood and in the hardscape of the aquarium.
