Anubias Afzelli - Large Driftwood

Anubias Afzelli (Anubias afzelii) is a tall, elegant species from the rivers and streams of West Africa, prized for its long, lance-shaped leaves that arch gracefully upward and outward, creating a striking vertical silhouette. On a large driftwood, this plant becomes a true showpiece — a towering, lush column of deep green that adds height, drama, and a sense of wild, natural grandeur to larger aquariums and paludariums. This piece arrives pre-attached to a large natural driftwood, ready to place and instantly impress.

Propagation: Divide the rhizome with a clean, sharp blade ensuring each section has at least 3–5 healthy leaves. Reattach to hardscape using aquarium-safe super glue or fishing line. Never bury the rhizome in substrate as it will rot.
