Anubias afzelii: substrate and planted tank guide
Anubias afzelii is in Living Soil's Aquarium and fully submerged plants group. Plants growing entirely underwater in a tank: a thin layer of soil under a gravel cap, which is a different job from a pond basket. Its guide gathers what published references say about water hardness, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, feeding, spotting problems and temperatures, book by book.
What the anubias afzelii guide covers

Good to know
- pH: the references give 6.6 to 6.6 for aquarium and fully submerged plants in general.
- The mistake to avoid: Pushing houseplant fertilizer sticks or water lily tablets into the soil under submerged plants. Bacteria turn their sulfate into hydrogen sulfide, which can kill plant roots.
- Also known as: anubias, anubias angustifolia and anubias angustifolia 'afzelii'
