Light: very low - high

Growth: very slow but with CO2 in higher light tanks I have had this plant grow one leaf/week

Demands: very easy

Pruning: Cut older leaves at base of stem. Cutting older leaves promotes new growth.

Propagation: Cut the rhizome in two or more pieces, better if cut pieces already have signs of new growth showing and well rooted. I have set cut rhizome pieces without leaves but good roots in the back of my tank until they start new leaf growth.

Planting: Can be planted in substrate, on wood, stone or just about anywhere else. The rhizome must remain uncovered at all times. Rooting is slow but strong, I use rubber bands or thumb tacks to attach to objects until plant grips itself. Not a good idea to move this plant around too much as rooting is very slow. I have noticed that with a good substrate like Eco-Complete I see more and faster root growth into the substrate.

Experience: Leaves last a long time and usually need to be cut due to algae growth rather than old age. Heavy pruning of old leaves helps promote new leaves and new growth from the rhizome. Easier to keep clean of algae in lower lit tanks or shaded by taller plants. It will flower under water however I'm not sure what promotes it to flower. I have yet to have one flower in my high light tank but several have flowered in the low light setups. Not sure why but it could be due to differences in the substrate as my low light tanks have very rich substrates.

I keep a 20gal. tank setup full on baby mollies. When Anubias start to get covered with algae I will give them a 1/19 bath for 2min. (bleach/water). Then I would put them into the tank with all the baby mollies. In less then one weeks time they with have them all clean. Then I rotate them back into the show tanks.
