Anubias Lanceolata can be planted in substrate but its rhizome (the thick part of the root system) must stay above the substrate, otherwise the root system will decay and the plant will eventually die. It can also be attached to hard surfaces such as rocks or driftwood. As its leaves are strong and sturdy, Anubias Lanceolata can be used in tanks with boisterous or herbivorous fish.
