How to Care for Anubias Nangi

— Anubias nangi care is very easy, so start by using low lighting between 10-20 PAR. Too much light may cause excess algae growth, so if you are using a brighter light, consider placing the anubias further away from the light or under the shade of taller or floating plants.
— Why is my anubias turning yellow or brown? It may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. If the anubias continues to grow poorly, consider dosing Easy Potassium fertilizer in addition to Easy Green for extra potassium.
— How to trim Anubias nangi: If the anubias has dying or melting leaves, trim them off at the base of the leaf without damaging the rhizome.

How to Propagate Anubias Nangi
