Description[edit]
This plant's long-stemmed dark green leave blades are 5-9 times as long as wide (up to 3.5 cm) and 8–15 cm long. The petioles are 4–33 cm long, from 0.5-1 times as long as the blade.[citation needed]
Cultivation[edit]
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and prefers a temperature range of 22-28 degrees C. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.
