Maintenance and Care

Anubias Emerald Heart Plant is one of the easiest plants to maintain because it is a slow-growing species and can grow more quickly at higher lighting levels. However, algae can grow on the tops of its leaves more easily. It will only require occasional trimming (when the stems become excessively long).

If you don't keep the tank clean, the buildup of pollutants will eventually turn toxic and kill any living things in it.  Your plants will have more access to light for photosynthesis as a result of this.

The water provides the plant with nutrients as it grows. Its growth will slow down if there aren't enough nutrients.

There are numerous nutrient supplements that you can purchase in stores if you believe that this is the reason why your plants are not growing. Utilizing substrates rich in nutrients is yet another choice. Simply be cautious that you're not adding an excessive number of supplements or you could support green growth development.

Since CO2 is absorbed during photosynthesis, you could add it for the same effect; however, Anubias nana is able to survive on the CO2 that fish expel during respiration. Your fish will suffer harm if too much CO2 is added.
