Have you ever seen Anubias with long thick roots? Well we will demonstrate how you chop these guys up to produce new plants out of them.

Photo 1: Anubias will long main root



Photo 2: We severely cropped the roots and leaves.


Photo 3: We attach them onto a piece of driftwood.


Photo 4: In the aquarium. Looks quite weird.


Photo 5: Two month later down the track. Looks much better.


When doing this make sure each piece is a minimum 1 inch long.

that's great mango! :) if only it worked for me!

I had a huge root (dont think dirty :P ), and I cut it into 4 and got 4 new plants out of them. So cool IMO. Try it one day ;)

So you dont need to leave the leaves on? And how big should the rhizhome be when you propagate?

Recommended length is a minimum of 3-4inchs. Mine was 4inchs long, I just divided mine into 4 pieces (1inch each) and attached it onto the driftwood.
