Anubias gilletii is an aquatic or semi-aquatic Arum-family plant from West and Central African streams, grown for its long-stalked, spear-shaped leaves. It does best partly submerged in a nutrient-rich, loose substrate, with the rhizome kept above the substrate surface.
Anubias gilletii is a plant that was first described scientifically in 1901 by Émile Auguste Joseph De Wildeman and Th. Durand.
This plant grows best when only partially submersed and when not crowded by other plants. It requires a lot of nutrients, a loose, iron-rich substrate, and moderate-to-strong light. It prefers a temperature range of 22-26 degrees C (72-79 degrees F). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by its seed.
Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
