Anubias Hastifolia

Anubias Hastifolia is the common name for Anubias Hastifolia.

Anubias Hastifolia is a distinct Anubias species recognized by its arrowhead-shaped leaves. It, like other Anubias, can grow in both submerged and emersed aquariums and terrariums. It has significantly longer stems than smaller species such as Anubias Nana or Congensis, making it suited for the aquarium's midground or backdrop.

This Anubias variation, like other Anubias, is a blooming plant that develops best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface, such as wood or stones. They prefer low to medium light and can benefit from frequent fertilization. CO2 is not required, however it can stimulate faster growth and stronger leaves. Because it grows slowly, the leaves are prone to algae growth if exposed to bright light.

Propagation is simple; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted. If the rhizomes are not kept above the substrate, the plant will decay.
