Expert Tips
Anubias Pangolino is an exceptionally rare variety that combines the legendary hardiness of Anubias with a unique, compact form. As an epiphyte, it should never be planted in substrate - instead, attach it to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape using thread or super glue. The rhizome (horizontal stem) must remain exposed to prevent rot. Position the plant where its distinctive narrow leaves can be appreciated as a focal point or accent feature.
This plant thrives in low to medium light and doesn't require CO2 injection, making it perfect for low-tech setups and shaded areas of the aquarium. The very slow growth rate means minimal maintenance is required, though this also means patience is needed for the plant to establish and spread. Anubias Pangolino is extremely adaptable to various water parameters and can tolerate a wide range of conditions. The unique textured leaf surface and narrow, elongated shape create exceptional visual interest and contrast beautifully with broader-leaved plants. Regular gentle cleaning helps prevent algae accumulation on the slow-growing leaves. This rare variety is ideal for nature aquariums, low-tech setups, and as a premium accent plant in detailed aquascapes. Propagation occurs through rhizome division - carefully cut the rhizome ensuring each section has several leaves and roots.
All plants are shipped carefully packaged to ensure they arrive in excellent condition. Live plants may vary slightly in size and colour from photos. Supplied as a single plant with 3-5 leaves.
