Anubias Barteri (Old type) - Medium Driftwood

Anubias Barteri 'Old Type' (Anubias barteri var. barteri) is the original, unselected form of the classic Anubias Barteri from West and Central Africa — prized for its robust, natural character and large, waxy, deep-green leaves that bring an instantly mature look to any aquarium. On a medium piece of Malaysian driftwood, this plant becomes a substantial, lush midground feature that commands attention from the moment it's placed. Malaysian driftwood releases gentle tannins that naturally soften the water, creating ideal conditions for this hardy African species.

Propagation: Divide the rhizome with a clean, sharp blade ensuring each section has at least 3–5 healthy leaves. Reattach to hardscape using aquarium-safe super glue or fishing line. Never bury the rhizome in substrate as it will rot.
