Anubias barteri is a popular species of aquatic plant that belongs to the Araceae family. It is a native of West Africa, where it grows in slow-moving streams, swamps, and other freshwater habitats. Anubias barteri is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that is popular in the aquarium hobby due to its attractive appearance and ease of care.
The plant has dark green, heart-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette pattern from a thick, creeping rhizome. It is a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 12 inches in height under ideal conditions, although it typically remains smaller in aquariums. The plant is often used in aquascaping, where it can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium decor to create a natural-looking underwater landscape.
Anubias barteri is a versatile plant that can tolerate a wide range of water parameters, including a pH between 6.0 and 8.0 and water hardness between 5 and 20 dGH. It prefers moderate to low lighting and can grow in both submerged and emersed conditions. In the aquarium, it is best propagated by dividing the rhizome and planting the individual sections, as the plant can be slow to propagate from cuttings.
Overall, Anubias barteri is a popular and attractive plant that is well-suited for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. It is a great choice for anyone looking to add a natural and easy-to-care-for element to their aquarium.
