Anubias congensis
Anubias congensis is a robust and attractive aquatic plant, well-suited for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Growing to a height of 20-40 cm (8-16 inches), Anubias congensis is ideal for mid-ground and background placement in aquariums. Its hardy nature and slow growth rate make it a low-maintenance choice, capable of thriving in a variety of conditions and adding a touch of lush greenery to the aquatic landscape.
Care Tips

- Attach to rocks or driftwood instead of planting in the substrate to avoid rhizome rot.
