Schismatoglottis prietoi is a relatively new plant to the aquarium hobby that looks like anubias but has softer leaves and prefers to be planted in substrate. Its almond-shaped, green leaves grow to 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) long and have wavy edges. This compact species is easy to care for and does well in low tech planted aquariums.
Once they become well-established, they develop a dense root system and have a faster growth rate than your typical anubias. They are also similar to cryptocoryne plants in the way they propagate. The original plant will produce runners, which grow a little plantlet at the end. Once the plantlet has several leaves and roots, the runner can be clipped and the new plantlet can be moved elsewhere.
