Anubias Hastifolia
Anubias Hastifolia is a beginner-friendly aquatic plant. Requiring little light and no CO2, it is a great option for all hobbyists. Anubias Hastifolia has much broader leaves than other Anubias varieties. The leaves form a triangular shape, making it a great focal point in an aquarium.
The plant grows via a horizontal rhizome that produces vertical leaves. When planting, do not bury the rhizome in the substrate. Instead, attach it to driftwood or rocks. Ensure the horizontal rhizome remains above the substrate. The plant can also be propagated by taking cuttings.

Easy to grow and stays healthy even in low light. The triangular leaves add a nice visual touch to my tank. I attached it to a piece of driftwood and it has been thriving for over six months.

Great for beginners. The plant doesn’t need much maintenance and grows steadily. I noticed the leaves spreading out nicely and forming a natural look in my aquarium.

I was worried about it not surviving in my low-light setup, but it has done well. The leaves are broad and shaped nicely. I’ve used it as a focal point and it looks great.
