Anubias

6 cultivars

Anubias is a genus of tropical aquatic and semi-aquatic plants in the aroid family, highly prized in the aquarium trade for their durability, slow growth, and thick, leathery green foliage. Native to the shaded rivers and streams of western and central Africa, these resilient plants feature creeping rhizomes that naturally attach to hardscape materials like rocks and driftwood, rather than being buried in substrate. Perfect for planted freshwater aquariums, paludariums, and high-humidity terrariums, Anubias species are celebrated for their incredibly low-maintenance care requirements and ability to thrive in low-light environments. Whether used to add structural midground interest, lush foreground accents, or naturalistic water-edge greenery, Anubias remains one of the most reliable and versatile choices for aquatic and semi-aquatic landscaping.
