Plant Sizes

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

Our Delivery Promise to you

If you choose Express Delivery, we will replace any plants that are damaged due to delays. Express Delivery is a fast, trackable, and reliable option with a one hour delivery window. It also ensures that the plants will arrive in the same condition as when they left our facility. If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.



If you order before 4pm we dispatch the same working day (Mon-Fri). Shipping prices start at £4.99 depending on the speed of delivery required.

Anubias gracilis is a popular aquarium plant among hobbyists due to its ease of care and attractive appearance. It is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae and is native to West Africa, specifically Nigeria and Cameroon. It is commonly referred to as 'slender Anubias' or 'narrow-leaf Anubias' due to its long, narrow leaves.

One of the key advantages of Anubias gracilis is its ease of care. It is a hardy aquarium plant that can thrive in a wide range of water conditions, making it ideal for both novice and experienced aquarists. It is also very adaptable and can be grown in a variety of aquarium setups, including freshwater, brackish, and even saltwater tanks (this is unsual).

When it comes to water parameters, Anubias gracilis prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.0 to 7. It also does well in water with low to moderate lighting, although it can also thrive in bright light conditions. This plant does not require a substrate to grow and can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or any other aquarium decoration. It is a slow-growing plant that requires little maintenance, making it ideal for low-maintenance setups.

Propagation of Anubias gracilis is easy and can be done by division or cutting. The plant grows slowly, so it may take some time to develop a large enough clump for division. However, once it reaches a good size, it can be divided and replanted in other parts of the tank.

In conclusion, Anubias gracilis is a fantastic aquatic plant that is easy to care for and adaptable to a wide range of aquarium conditions. Its elegant appearance and slow-growing nature make it a popular choice for aquascaping and adding a touch of beauty to any tank.

Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...

We guarantee you'll be happy with your order. But if you're not, please contact us so we can resolve. We are 100% here to help and will always do our best to resolve any issues - that's a promise.
