Anubias ‘King Kong’

Anubias ‘King Kong’ is a rare and striking newcomer in the world of aquascaping, valued for its majestic presence and unique appearance within the Anubias family. Originating from Africa, this plant has quickly become a prized choice among collectors and aquascapers seeking something special for their layouts.

This cultivar stands out with its broad, dark green leaves and robust growth habit, giving it a bold, commanding look compared to smaller Anubias varieties. Like its relatives, it is hardy, slow-growing, and undemanding, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced hobbyists.
