Anubias Hastifolia – Premium Arrowhead Aquarium Plant

Anubias Hastifolia

Anubias Hastifolia is a beautiful and distinctive freshwater aquarium plant known for its elegant arrowhead-shaped leaves and hardy nature. Compared to smaller Anubias varieties such as Anubias Nana and Anubias Congensis, it develops longer leaf stalks and larger foliage, making it an excellent choice for the midground or background of planted aquariums.

This versatile aquatic plant can be grown fully submerged in aquariums or emersed in terrariums and paludariums, making it a favorite among aquascapers and hobbyists looking for a low-maintenance yet eye-catching plant.

Anubias Hastifolia performs best when its rhizome is attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape materials. Never bury the rhizome beneath the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Only the roots should be allowed to anchor naturally.

Although CO₂ injection is not required, additional CO₂ and regular liquid fertilization will encourage healthier growth, larger leaves, and richer green coloration.

Because it grows slowly, excessive lighting can encourage algae to develop on the leaves. Maintaining moderate lighting and good water circulation helps keep the plant looking its best.

Propagation

Propagation is simple and beginner-friendly. Divide the rhizome using clean scissors or gently separate natural growth points, ensuring each section has several healthy leaves and roots. Attach the new sections to wood or rocks, where they will continue growing over time.
