Anubias: A Low-Maintenance Epiphyte for Closed Terrariums

Anubias is a hardy epiphytic plant commonly found in aquariums—but it also thrives in closed terrariums with high humidity. With its deep green foliage and slow, steady growth, it's a reliable choice for adding form and contrast to terrarium builds without constant pruning.

Terrarium-Ready with No Soil Needed

Anubias doesn’t need to be planted in soil. In fact, its rhizome must stay exposed—so attach it to wood, rock, sphagnum moss, leca etc. It can be attached using thread, or by simply wedgeing it into a crevice. As it grows, the roots will naturally grip the surface, and any supports can be removed over time.

Choose from Three Distinct Forms

  • Type 1 – Compact & Bushy: A dense, rounded form with smaller leaves. Ideal for foreground placement or smaller terrariums.
  • Type 2 – Broad Leaf: Bold, paddle-shaped leaves create visual weight and contrast. Best suited for midground areas.
  • Type 3 – Tall & Upright: Long, narrow leaves grow vertically, adding height and architectural lines to your setup.

Perfect for Low Light & High Humidity

Anubias tolerates low light and fluctuating airflow better than many tropical species. It’s a slow grower that holds its form well, making it a great option for beginners and experienced terrarium keepers alike.

Shipping

This plant will be sent bare rooted, wrapped in sphagnum moss.

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.

Current Growing Conditions

This plant has been propagated and grown in a hydroponics medium. All of our hydroponics plants are potted up in leca, perlite, or MAB grow, and left sitting in 1 - 2 cm of nutrient solution at all times. Our nutrient solution is made up of Growth Technology Foliage Focus or Complete Focus diluted to 5 ml per litre of water.

This plant is currently growing in our climate controled grow room. Temperatures sit abouve 20 C at all times, and relative humidity does not drop below 60%.

Suggested Care on Arrival

This plant will arrive with its roots wrapped in sphagnum moss. If you would like to continue growing this plant as we have, in a hydroponic medium, then we suggest you pot it up shortly after receiving it.

In general, we find that plants transition from hydroponics mediums to soil without any issues. However, if you want to transition the plant into soil with extra caution, then you can keep it in the moss for a few days. This will allow your plant to acclimate to your environment before transitioning to a new medium. You may need to re-moisten the moss during this time to prevent it from completely drying out.

When ready, you can pot the plant up in a well-draining soil mix. 50% premium potting mix and 50% perlite works well, but adding extra amendments such as orchid bark for extra drainage can help in creating an optimum soil mix. These extra amendments should especially be used for anthuriums, which require extra drainage. If you require more specific information about soil mix, please contact us.

If you require a growing pot and/or potting medium (soil or perlite) let us know in the notes section at check-out and we’ll send it with your bare rooted plant.
