Care & Maintenance

Lighting

Anubias Barteri performs best under low to moderate lighting. Excessive light may encourage algae growth on the leaves.

Planting Method

Do not bury the rhizome (horizontal stem) beneath the substrate. Instead, attach the plant to driftwood, rocks, or decorations using thread, fishing line, or aquarium-safe glue.

Fertilization

Occasional use of liquid fertilizers can promote healthy growth and richer leaf coloration. Root fertilizers are generally not necessary.

Water Conditions

Maintain stable water parameters and perform regular water changes to keep the plant healthy and free from algae buildup.
