Anubias Nangi

Anubias Nangi is a hybrid Anubias growing to 4 to 8 inches with elongated leaves and a characteristically hardy, low-maintenance nature that makes it a reliable midground plant for a wide variety of aquarium setups. The care chart describes it as a hybrid with elongated leaves that is great for hardscape attachment — a concise summary of a plant that delivers dependable performance with botanical interest.

Planting tip: Never bury the rhizome in substrate — Anubias Nangi should always be attached to driftwood, rock, or other hardscape with the rhizome fully exposed. Use cotton thread or aquarium-safe adhesive to secure it, and the plant will anchor itself naturally over time.

The care requirements of Anubias Nangi align with those of all Anubias — low to moderate lighting, low CO₂ needs, and tolerance of a wide range of water parameters including temperatures from 72 to 82°F and a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. Regular liquid fertilization supports healthy leaf production and maintains the attractive elongated leaf form. Consistent water conditions produce the most reliable, attractive growth in this hybrid variety.

Anubias Nangi should be attached to driftwood or stone with the rhizome fully exposed at all times. The elongated leaves look particularly natural when the plant is secured to textured wood or detailed rock surfaces. Thread or aquarium adhesive are both suitable for initial attachment.

In the aquascape, Anubias Nangi adds a graceful contrast to round or broad-leaved plants and creates interesting variety in Anubias collection displays. Its elongated leaves complement fine-textured mosses, Bucephalandra, and other plants with delicate leaf forms. A dependable and attractive hybrid for any planted aquarium.
