Anubias gilletii is a plant that was first described scientifically in 1901 by Émile Auguste Joseph De Wildeman and Th. Durand.[1]
Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2]
Its long-stalked medium-green leaves are spear-shaped and may grow to about 40 cm in length. It grows in muddy areas near, or in streams, sometimes even completely submerged.
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.[3]
