is a popular aquatic plant among aquarium enthusiasts due to its attractive appearance and easy maintenance. It is a species of the genus Anubias, which belongs to the family Araceae. Anubias heterophylla is native to West Africa, where it grows in the shaded areas of streams and rivers.
The leaves of Anubias heterophylla are elongated and have a deep green colour. They can grow up to 30 cm in length, and 5 cm in width. The plant can thrive in a range of water conditions, including soft and hard water, and a pH range of 6 to 8. It prefers moderate lighting and can tolerate low light conditions as well. It can be grown submerged in aquariums, or emerged in a paludarium or terrarium.
Anubias heterophylla is an easy aquarium plant to maintain and propagate. It can be attached to rocks or driftwood using fishing line or aquarium glue. The plant grows slowly and does not require frequent pruning. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome, which is the horizontal stem that grows above the substrate. New plants will grow from the divided rhizome, and can be re-attached to rocks or driftwood.
Note that Anubias heterophylla tends to have leaves that are a lighter shade of green and some describe them with a hint of yellow. It's important to realise this is natural and how the plant should look.
Lastly the pictures is simply an example of the plant - not what you will receive. All plants are different in size and shape. Thank you for understanding.
