Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia
Quick Facts:: Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia
Characteristics
Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia was first described by Adolf Engler in 1915 and originates from West Africa. This is a big hardy plant with lush heart shaped foliage. This plant may reach up to 14 inches with leaves that can be as long as 9 inches and 5 inches wide.this plant develops quite large roots and because of its size, it is recommended to plant it in a large tank. This variety of Anubias barteri is an amphibious form that will survive either totally or partially submersed.
Water Conditions
72-80° F
KH 3-7
pH 6.0-8.0
Care
Easy to grow medium light plant. Do not put the rhizome in the substrate when planting as it has the tendency to rot when buried. As with all Anubias sp. it is prone to algae due to slow growth, and is usually left alone by herbivorous fish.
Propagation
This plant can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.

Anubias nana - Anubias nana
Characteristics
Anubias nana is a rosette plant that may reach up to 6 inches in length. They have dark green leaves in low, clumps. with diagonal lines running from the center vein to the leaf perimeter.
Water Conditions
72-82° F
KH 3-8
pH 6.0-7.5
Care
Easy to grow it prefers moderate lighting. A quality substrate fertilizer is necessary as well as a warmed tank bottom. CO2 fertilization is also recommended. As with all Anubias sp. it is prone to algae due to slow growth, and is usually left alone by herbivorous fish.
Propagation
Propagation of Anubias nana is relative easy with cuttings. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.To ensure optimal growth if planted in substrate, however, ensure the rhizome of divided plants is always above the substrate.

Anubias hastifolia - Anubias hastifolia
Characteristics
Anubias hastifolia has longer stalks than other smaller members of the Anubias genus with distinct arrowhead-shaped leaves. Native to the tropical regions of Africa, these flowering plant species are primarily found in rivers, streams, and marshes. Like other Anubias plant species, this variety is hardy and relatively undemanding. Most herbivorous fish also tend to leave Anubias plants alone, which makes them great additions to any freshwater system.
Water Conditions
72-80° F
KH 4-18
pH 5.5-9.0
Care
Easy to grow low light plant. Do not put the rhizome in the substrate when planting. As with all Anubias sp. it is prone to algae due to slow growth, and is usually left alone by herbivorous fish.
