Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Emerald Bloom

Anubias Emerald Bloom is an exciting new variation in the aquarium hobby, loved for its striking, large, heart-shaped foliage. Sporting a rich, vibrant green hue, this gorgeous epiphyte is an exceptional choice for adding dramatic visual weight and filling in those awkward gaps in your hardscape that you've been staring at for weeks. If you have been searching for a bold, low-maintenance centerpiece, this hardy plant is ready to bloom where it's planted, and it won't break your heart by dying the second you look at it! It also adapts beautifully to both submerged aquariums and high-humidity emersed setups like terrariums and paludariums.

Key Features & Benefits

• The large and heart-shaped emerald green leaves create an eye-catching focal point while offering a wonderful natural canvas to fill massive gaps in your hardscape.
• Its robust and thick structure makes it incredibly easy to care for and highly resilient against active or herbivorous fish that typically destroy softer plants.
• This versatile variety easily adapts to low-technology environments, ensuring beginner success without requiring high-end equipment or intensive daily maintenance routines.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Carefully remove the plant from its pot and clear away all rockwool from the roots. For a deep dive on prepping potted plants, click here.
  
• Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the thick horizontal stem in gravel or soil because restricting water flow around the rhizome will cause the plant to melt, rot, and die.
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
• Position the plant away from intense, direct light and ensure healthy water flow to prevent slow-growing leaves from collecting unwanted spot algae.
• Provide low to moderate lighting and optional carbon dioxide injection to achieve faster growth and more robust leaves, though it will happily thrive without high-tech setups.
