Anubias barteri prefers consistently moist substrate but can tolerate some drying out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

If grown submerged, ensure the rhizome is above the substrate surface to prevent rot. Aim for a slight drying of the top layer before rewatering.

Pruning of Anubias barteri is minimal. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves by cutting them at the base of the rhizome. Trimming overcrowded foliage can improve air circulation.

You can also prune back excessively long leaves or stems if desired, but avoid cutting into the rhizome itself.

Anubias barteri is easily propagated by rhizome division. Gently separate sections of the rhizome, ensuring each piece has at least one healthy leaf and a few roots.

Plant these divisions in substrate or attach them to driftwood/rocks. New growth will emerge from the nodes on the rhizome.

Anubias barteri has slow growth and does not require frequent repotting. When the rhizome outgrows its container or substrate, repot it.

Ensure the rhizome is not buried; it should sit on or be attached to the surface of the substrate or attachment material. Use a well-draining potting mix.
