Description

Anubias angustifolia is an easy, low light rhizome plant with long, slender green leaves for the midground, attached to rocks or driftwood. Grown as clean tissue culture, free of snails, algae and pests.

Lab Grown, Algae Free, Snail Free.

Grown in sterile conditions with no snails, algae, or hitchhikers — the cleanest start for any freshwater tank.

Great Value in Every Cup

Each tissue culture cup contains multiple portions — simply rinse, divide, and plant. One pot can cover more ground than you'd expect!

Anubias barteri var. angustifolia, often just called Anubias angustifolia, has long, slender green leaves that flow and arch in a way that sets it apart from the rounder Anubias varieties. It is a rhizome plant that attaches to hardscape rather than rooting into the substrate, and it sits comfortably in the midground, tied or glued to rocks and driftwood or run along the hardscape as an accent.

This is an easy, low light plant that grows slowly, so it needs very little trimming and holds its shape for a long time. Keep the rhizome exposed and only anchor the roots, since a buried rhizome can rot. The tough leaves shrug off nibbling from grazing fish, which makes it a reliable choice for community and planted tanks, and the long foliage gives fish welcome shade and shelter. CO2 is not needed, though a little can nudge growth along.

It is grown in sterile tissue culture, densely packed in a sealed cup and free of snails, algae, pests and disease, so your tank gets a clean, healthy start.

How to plant your tissue culture Anubias

  1. Rinse the clear nutrient gel from the base of the plant.

  4. Leave it undisturbed while it settles and grips on.
