Planting Guide

Maintenance

Due to its slow growth, Anubias Gigantea requires relatively little maintenance. Remove old or damaged leaves when necessary and provide stable aquarium conditions. Its large leaves may occasionally benefit from gentle cleaning if debris or algae accumulates on the surface.

With its impressive size, hardy nature, and bold green foliage, Anubias gigantea makes an excellent centerpiece or background feature for larger freshwater planted aquariums.
