Description
This plant's large leave blades are 1.5-2.5 times as long (10-23 cm) as wide (5-14) cm long. The petioles are 10-54cm long, from 1-2.5 times as long as the blade. The base of the leaf is typically lobed.
Cultivation
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and prefers a temperature range of 22-28 degrees C. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.
