Anubias glabra is a hardy and elegant aquarium plant known for its long, narrow deep green leaves and slow-growing nature. Perfect for attaching to wood and rock, it adds height, texture and a natural appearance to planted aquariums and aquascapes.
Appearance Long, slender dark green leaves that grow from a creeping rhizome, creating a graceful and natural look within the aquarium. Its upright growth habit makes it ideal for adding subtle height and detail to hardscape layouts.
Lighting & Growth Anubias glabra thrives in low to medium lighting conditions and does not require CO₂ injection.
It grows slowly, making it easy to maintain and well suited to low-tech aquariums. With stronger lighting and CO₂, growth may become slightly faster while maintaining its hardy nature.
How to Use This plant should not be buried in substrate. Instead, attach it to rocks or wood using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Over time, it will naturally anchor itself to the surface.
