{"product_id":"assorted-anubias-on-rock","title":"Assorted Anubias On Rock","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grower's-choice Anubias already attached to a natural rock — no tying or gluing needed, just place it and go. The variety varies with what is looking best on the day, but every Anubias shares the genus's toughness: slow, hardy, undemanding and left alone by fish. An instant, ready-to-display piece of greenery for any hardscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnubias are West African plants that grow attached to rock and wood along shaded rainforest streams, often emersed above the waterline. Mounting on rock mirrors exactly how they grow in the wild. In the aquarium they want a shaded position and stable tropical water, and grow perfectly well fully submerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThick, leathery dark-green leaves on a creeping rhizome, here already rooted across a piece of rock. Depending on the variety supplied, a mature specimen may reach roughly 10 to 25 cm tall. The leaves are long-lived and Anubias never melts back the way crypts and swords do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlacement and Aquascaping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSit the rock anywhere in the midground or foreground — the Anubias is already correctly mounted with its rhizome above the surface, so nothing needs burying. Move it around freely until the layout feels right; slow growth means it holds its shape with little trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and Propagation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo planting required — simply rinse and place the rock. Should you wish to propagate, divide the rhizome into sections each with several leaves and attach them elsewhere. Never bury the rhizome, which will rot if covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow to moderate light suits all Anubias; strong light on such slow growers mainly encourages algae. CO2 is not required, and a light liquid feed is enough. They tolerate 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5 and soft to hard water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnubias sp.
