Anubias afzelii
Difficulty: Very Easy
Lighting Requirements: Low
Temperature: 22-28 C (71-82 F)
pH: 6-7.5
Anubias afzelii is a medium-sized rosette plant that can grow to about 8-10 inches (20-25 cm.) tall. In nature this plant is mainly found submerged. This means it is a great aquarium plant as well as a really nice pond plant if the water depth isn't too great. The petioles (the stalk that attaches the leaf to the stem of the plant) are green but can be reddish as well. The leaf is as long as the petiole is. The leaf is elliptical and is a dark green colour. It has undulate margins (wavy edges). It grows best emersed, but remains small when it is under water. Like other Anubias, it is propagated by lateral shoots off the rhizome. The rhizome itself can be cut in half to propagate the plant.
