Anubias Anubias Heterophylla

The very easy to maintain Anubias heterophylla, the Variegated spear leaf, comes from Africa. The 25 to approx. 65 cm high plant is perfect for putting on roots or stones in the middle ground and tolerates soft to hard water.

Anubias heterophylla grows as a water lily plant. Your rhizome (the green, thick rhizome) does not always crawl along the ground, but can sometimes go up. The rhizome is not implanted in Anubias, because it can rot in the ground. This means that it is best to tie or glue the Varangular Spear Leaf to an aquarium root or decorative stone. If you only cover the laterally growing roots with gravel or soil, you can also cultivate the Anubias on the ground, only the rhizome must definitely look out of the gravel or soil.

The 25 to 65 cm tall aquarium plant looks very perfect in the middle ground / background in high aquariums.
