Anubias sp. 'Short & Sharp'

About this plant

Short & Sharp is an Anubias culture form selected for pointed blades rather than the rounder outline associated with many compact Anubias. Its raised leaf stalks create a more open arrangement, allowing individual leaf shapes to remain visible. Place a small clump on an exposed wood junction or a rock ledge instead of burying it inside a dense patch of broad leaves. The culture name identifies the form; an exact species assignment has not been established by the evidence used for this profile. Attach the rhizome to wood or stone without covering its growing stem. Roots may enter the substrate, but a buried rhizome can decay. Keep the slow-growing leaves free of debris, provide balanced water-column nutrition and avoid abrupt changes made only to chase a colour. Trim damaged leaves at their base. Divide an established rhizome into healthy leaf-bearing sections; emersed-grown stock can replace some leaves after submersion. Care ranges, where supplied, describe reported cultivation conditions rather than measured lethal limits. Width and nutrient concentrations are left unspecified where no defensible form-specific values are available.
