Anubias Congensis Plant Care

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.

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.
