Anubias Barteri is a resilient aquatic plant native to West Africa, specifically found in regions such as southeastern Nigeria, Cameroon, and Bioko. Originally discovered in 1860, this species has become a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts. The plant is known for its robust, leathery leaves that can vary in shape depending on the variety. The broadleaf Anubias, a common variant, features larger leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long. This plant's rhizome typically stays above the substrate, anchoring itself to surfaces like rocks or wood.
Anubias Barteri thrives in both partially and fully submerged conditions, making it versatile for various aquarium setups. It can adapt to different lighting conditions, with stronger light encouraging faster growth and more compact leaves. The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 72–82 °F (22–28 °C). Propagation is straightforward, either by dividing the rhizome or separating side shoots. It's essential to keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent it from rotting.
