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 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.
