Description
This plant's thick short-stemmed dark green leaves are some of the smallest and most compact in the Anubias genus, growing only to 3.2 inches (8 cm) for a total height of 4.7 inches (12 cm).
Cultivation
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and prefers a temperature range of 72-82 degrees F (22-28 degrees C). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.
