Anubias congensis mini is a small, slow-growing species of aquatic plant that is popular among aquarists for its attractive appearance and ease of care. It is a variation of Anubias congensis, but with smaller leaves and a more compact growth habit.
This plant has dark green, oblong leaves that are around 3-5 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. The leaves are thick and leathery, with a shiny surface and slightly lighter veins. The plant typically grows to a height of 5-10 cm and produces rhizomes that can be used to propagate new plants.
Anubias congensis mini is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that can be grown in a wide range of aquarium conditions. It prefers moderate to high lighting and a pH range of 6.5-7.5, but can tolerate lower lighting and pH levels as well. It does not require CO2 injection or special fertilization, but can benefit from occasional liquid or substrate fertilization.
This plant is a good choice for aquascaping, as it can be easily attached to rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium decor using fishing line or plant glue. It can also be grown directly in the substrate, but care should be taken not to bury the rhizome, as this can lead to rot.
Overall, Anubias congensis mini is a versatile and attractive plant that can add a touch of green to any aquarium. It is a great choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike, and can be used in a variety of different aquascaping styles.
