This is an extremely easy plant to grow and can survive a wide range of water parameters.The leaves are slender and sharpunlike the round leaves of Anubias Barteri or Anubias Nana.Like other Anubias plants, it can grow in both aquariums and terrariums either submerged or emersed.

Anubias Congensis is native to thetropical regions of Africa where it can be found growingalong 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 promotefaster growth and more robust leaves. Since its a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting.
