Anubias Hastifolia

Anubias hastifolia

Anubias hastifolia is a distinctive Anubias species recognized for its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves and strong upright growth. Its unique leaf shape adds a bold and natural look to planted aquariums and paludarium setups, making it a great choice for aquascapers who want a different texture compared to typical round-leaf Anubias varieties.

This plant grows from a thick rhizome and is known for its durability and adaptability. Like other Anubias species, it thrives when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape rather than being buried in substrate. Over time, it can develop larger leaves that create a strong visual presence in the aquascape.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Low to Medium

• CO₂: Not required

• Placement: Midground to Background (attached to hardscape)

• Growth Rate: Slow

• Propagation: Divide the rhizome carefully to grow new plants

Aquascaping Notes

Anubias hastifolia works well in nature-style aquascapes, low-tech planted tanks, and paludariums. Its elongated leaves add vertical structure and contrast when paired with mosses, Bucephalandra, and driftwood layouts.

⚠️ Important: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate. Attach the plant to rocks or driftwood using aquascaping glue or thread to prevent rhizome rot.

Please note that leaf size and shape may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
