Anubias Hastifolia is a large plant from the rainforests of West Africa and can be found on shady streambanks. This plant has decorative spear-shaped leaves and stays smaller in shape when growing underwater. The Anubias grows very slowly and should not be buried into the ground. The plant is easier to cultivate as an emersed plant in high air humidity and low light. Anubias can also be used in the midground of the aquarium in low light. This species is best for humid terrariums where it can reach maximum size.
