Anubias congensis is a more upright-growing Anubias from the Congo Basin, producing long lance-shaped leaves on an erect rhizome. It grows taller than the compact nana varieties but shorter than hastifolia, making it a useful choice for midground to background placement in medium and larger aquariums.
Like all Anubias, it's genuinely undemanding: no CO2, tolerant of a wide range of light levels and water conditions, and attached to hardscape rather than planted into substrate. The dark green leaves are tough and rarely attract algae or fish damage. Growth is slow but steady.
Remove from the pot and fix the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Never bury the rhizome.
You’ll receive a healthy, rooted plant in a pot, similar to those shown. Each one is hand-checked before dispatch.

It can reach up to 40cm in height, making it suitable for midground to background placement. One of the taller potted Anubias varieties.
No — like all Anubias it grows well without CO2 in low-tech setups. Very low maintenance.
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock rather than planting in substrate. Thread or aquarium-safe superglue works well. Do not bury the rhizome — this causes rot.
Yes. It is tolerant of low light, needs no CO2, and adapts to a wide range of water conditions. One of the most forgiving plants in the hobby.
Congensis has a more upright habit and longer lance-shaped leaves compared to the broader, more spreading barteri. It tends to grow taller and creates a more vertical, structural look.
