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. This piece arrives pre-attached to a medium natural driftwood, making it a substantial, ready-to-place feature that brings instant maturity and a lush, natural presence to mid-sized and larger aquariums. Simply drop it in and let it do the work.

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.
