Anubias congensis is a tough and adaptable plant with long, arching, dark green leaves that bring bold structure to any aquascape. Its thick rhizome and upright growth make it an ideal candidate for hardscape attachment — whether tied to driftwood, lava rock, or placed in shaded corners of the tank. It requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for both low-tech and high-tech planted setups.
Difficulty Level | Easy |

Lighting | Low to medium |
CO₂ Requirement | Not required |
Growth Rate | Slow |
Placement | Midground to background, on hardscape |
Propagation | Rhizome division |
Anubias congensis can be propagated by carefully dividing the rhizome. Each section should include several leaves and roots to continue healthy growth. Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate to prevent rot — always attach to hardscape or rest above the substrate line.
This plant is extremely forgiving and thrives in a wide range of water parameters. Due to its slow growth, algae may occasionally appear on older leaves in high light setups — consider placing in shaded areas or with floating plants above.
