Anubias gracilis potted

West Africa is home to many species of Anubias, including this one.

The 5-10 cm triangular leaves on long leaf-stalks make Anubias gracilis one of the most elegant. It is hardy and tolerant, a great plant for beginners. The plant can be grown on rock or wood or planted at the bottom. If planted on the bottom, the rhizome, from which leaves and roots emerge, should not be covered. If it is, the entire plant will rot and die.

Anubias gracilis can be allowed to grow from water, but it will gain considerable size in this way.
