General information about the Anubias Barteri Mother Plant

Meet the Anubias Barteri Mother Plant; a beautiful and sturdy plant that's perfect for decorating your aquarium. There are several reasons why you might choose a mother plant. Mother plants often perform better than so-called "daughter plants." This is because mother plants are generally stronger. They are at least six months old and have been grown in a spacious pot, allowing them to grow large and sturdy. Thanks to their impressive size, robustness, and full appearance, they are very suitable as decorative elements in your aquarium.

When planting the Anubias Barteri mother plant, it's important to remember that you shouldn't plant plants from this family directly in the ground. Ensure the rhizome always remains above the gravel. Even better is to tie the plant to an ornamental structure, such as wood or stone. Make sure the plant gets sufficient water circulation and isn't tied too tightly, as this can cause suffocation and pinching. To prevent this, you can also secure the plant with special plant glue or acrylic superglue based on cyanoacrylate. Furthermore, the Anubias thrives in dark places. Too much light can hinder its growth, so make sure the plant is shaded from other plants.

If you want to propagate the Anubias Barteri mother plant, you can cut off every four or five leaves from the rhizome and then plant them on a decorative ornament or in the gravel. The rhizome often runs horizontally and has a slightly swollen appearance. It looks a bit like a thick root from which leaves can grow.

An important tip when pruning Anubias is not to prune too much at once. Plants in the Anubias family can release oxalic acid when pruned, which can be harmful to your aquarium. Opinions differ on this. In any case, small amounts won't harm the other aquarium inhabitants, so be sure to keep pruning to a minimum.
