Anubias Nancon Mother Pot

No, you should not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot. Instead, use fishing line, super glue gel, or cotton thread to attach the rhizome to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape features.

No, the Anubias Nancon does not require supplemental CO2. It is a slow-growing species that thrives in standard aquarium conditions without the need for complex fertilization or carbon systems.

Anubias Nancon is known for its thick, durable leaves, which makes it unappealing to most herbivorous fish. While no plant is entirely immune to curious fish, this species is significantly more resistant to damage than softer, faster-growing aquatic plants.

This plant is highly adaptable and performs best in low to moderate lighting. If you provide too much light, you may notice algae growing on the leaves, so keep it in a shaded area or use a standard, low-intensity aquarium light.

You can propagate the plant by carefully dividing the rhizome. Use a sharp, clean pair of scissors to cut the rhizome into sections, ensuring each piece has at least three or four leaves attached, then reattach the new sections to your hardscape.
