Choose your pot size
- Standard (5cm pot)
- XL (9cm pot)
Both options are the same plant. XL is a larger supplied specimen. Pot diameter is not plant height; living plants vary naturally. One selected potted plant is included.
Add height and bold green foliage to your aquarium without a demanding care routine. Anubias hastifolia has long, upright stems and distinctive pointed leaves, making it a striking feature attached to wood or rock among shorter plants.
A taller-growing Anubias, it’s a good choice for adding structure towards the back of a larger aquarium. It grows well in low light without added CO₂, while its slow growth means less frequent trimming—ideal if you want an attractive planting that’s easy to maintain.
Standard pot supplied approximately 20–35cm tall on arrival. As a natural product, size and leaf shape will vary.
To position it, carefully remove the pot and growing wool, then secure it to wood or rock. Keep the rhizome—the thick stem from which the leaves and roots grow—above the substrate.
XL size and care notes
Anubias hastifolia XL is an exceptional specimen of the tallest Anubias species available — already established on arrival, with a long rhizome and multiple mature leaves. In a well-maintained aquarium it can eventually reach up to 80cm, making it one of the most dramatically large plants you can keep without specialist conditions.
Care is as straightforward as any Anubias: no CO2, tolerant of low light, and attached to wood or rock rather than planted into substrate. The distinctive arrow-shaped leaf blades only fully develop on mature plants — juveniles carry differently shaped leaves that gradually develop the characteristic pointed form as the plant matures.
Large hastifolia specimens are rarely available. Remove from the pot and fix the rhizome to a substantial piece of wood or rock. Do not bury the rhizome.
