Anubias gracilis is a plant that was first mentioned in 1920 by Chevalier and thereafter validly described by Hutchinson and Dalziel in 1936.
Distribution
It is found in the Western Africa nations of Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Description
Its long-stalked medium-green leaves are spade-shaped and may grow to 12 inches (30 cm) in length.
Cultivation
This plant grows best when only partially submersed and when not crowded by other plants. It requires a lot of nutrients, a loose, iron-rich substrate, and moderate-to-strong light. It prefers a temperature range of 22-26 degrees C (72-79 degrees F). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome.
