Anubias King Kong is best attached to rocks or driftwood where its compact form and textured leaves can become a focal point. It pairs exceptionally well with Bucephalandra, mosses, and other epiphytic plants, creating depth and detail within natural-style aquascapes.

⚠️ Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate, as this can cause the plant to rot.
