Anubias Congensis is an amazingly versatile plant that can grow either partially or completely submerged. Widely grown in both aquariums and terrariums, it is easy to grow and care for and produces slender pointed foliage. This semi-aquatic plant can be grown either with its roots planted into gravel or attached to a piece of wood or rock. 

Best Locations For Growing Anubias Congensis

The Anubias Congensis can be grown either submerged in an aquarium or planted in a terrarium with its roots kept constantly moist. Either way, this unusual plant will want to be planted somewhere it can be appreciated.

Anubias Congensis Sunlight Requirements

The Anubias Congensis is an adaptable plant and can cope with low to moderate lighting. If grown in strong direct light it can develop algae on the foliage.  

Anubias Congensis Plant Care

If grown in an aquarium, Anubias Congensis requires a water temperature of 72 to 78 ºF to thrive and a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Anubias Congensis can also be grown as a houseplant in a terrarium, however the roots and soil must be kept under water or consistently moist for the plant not to dry out. When leaves appear damaged, they can be cut away at the base, which will also encourage new fresh growth. 

Watering Anubias Congensis

If grown in a terrarium, the soil must remain constantly moist or be submerged. If grown in a tank, a weekly water refresh of 20% is recommended. 

Feeding Anubias Congensis

In general, the Anubias Barteri plant does not need feeding when it is grown in a tank with good water conditions. If you want the plant to grow faster, you can position it so its leaves are above the water line, which will speed up its growth.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
