Description
Anubias Gabon is another species in the Anubias family. Like other Anubias it can grow in a multitude of environments varying from aquariums to terrariums. Its stems are slightly longer when compared to Anubias Nana but the overall shape and characteristics are similar. This plant is suitable as a midground and background choice in a planted aquarium tank.
This variant is a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface such as wood or stone. It benefits from consistent fertilization but light requirements are minimal as its leaves are susceptible to algae growth when placed under high lighting. CO2 is optional but can promote faster growth and robust leaves when used.
