Anubias Heterophylla Potted Aquarium Plant – A Large, Hardy Aquatic Plant for Stunning Aquascapes
 
Anubias Heterophylla is a robust, broad-leaved aquarium plant that adds bold greenery to freshwater tanks. With its tall, elongated leaves, it makes an excellent choice for midground to background placement, providing shelter for fish and shrimp. Like other Anubias species, it is extremely hardy, thriving in low-light, low-maintenance aquariums without the need for CO2 injection. This potted version arrives well-established, making it easy to transition into your aquascape. Anubias Heterophylla is perfect for attaching to driftwood or rocks, creating a lush, natural aesthetic in any aquarium.
 
Prepping for Aquarium Placement:
 
Before placing potted aquarium plants into your tank, it's crucial to remove them from their pots and thoroughly rinse off the soil or substrate they may be potted in. Gently shake or rinse the roots to remove excess debris without damaging them. Trim any damaged or overly long roots to encourage healthy growth. If the plant is held together by a foam or mesh material, be sure to remove it carefully to prevent it from decomposing in the aquarium.
When planting in the main aquarium, consider the specific needs of each plant species regarding light, substrate, and water conditions. Secure the plants in the substrate or attach them to decorations using aquarium-safe methods like plant weights or tie them to rocks or driftwood. Monitor the plants closely after planting to ensure they adapt well to their new surroundings.
You can often split potted plants into 2 or 3 individual plants to spread around your aquascape.
