Care Instructions for Anubias Gigantea

Lighting

Prefers low to moderate lighting. Excessive light may encourage algae growth on its slow-growing leaves.

Water Conditions

Adapts well to temperatures of 72°F–82°F and a pH range of 6.0–7.5. Tolerates soft to moderately hard water.

Best Substrate

Do not bury the rhizome. Attach to rocks, driftwood, or porous decor using thread or glue. For potted plants, keep the rhizome above the substrate.

CO2 Supplementation

Optional. CO2 can boost leaf size and growth rate, but it is not required for survival.

Watering and Maintenance

Trim old or yellowing leaves at the base to encourage new growth. Perform 10–20% weekly water changes for optimal health.

Propagation

Cut the rhizome horizontally with a sterile knife, ensuring each division has 3–4 leaves. Reattach the new plants to hardscape or weights.
