How to Plant Anubias Barteri
1. Remove the plant from plastic bag and gently remove the damp liner.
2. The anubias can be planted as one single plant or gently separated into smaller plant clumps by cutting the rhizome.
3. Insert each plant clump between a crack in a rock or more firmly attach them to decor using super glue gel. Be careful not to bury the rhizome or the plant may suffer.

How to Care for Anubias Barteri
— Anubias barteri care is very easy, so start by using low lighting between 10-20 PAR. Too much light may cause excess algae growth, so if you are using a brighter light, consider placing the anubias further away from the light or under the shade of taller or floating plants.
— Why is my anubias turning yellow or brown? It may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. If the anubias continues to grow poorly, consider dosing Easy Potassium fertilizer in addition to Easy Green for extra potassium.
— How to trim Anubias barteri: If the anubias has dying or melting leaves, trim them off at the base of the leaf without damaging the rhizome.
How to Propagate Anubias Barteri
— Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the rhizome and split into two plants. Plant the two sections as normal.
Notes
— How big do Anubias barteri get? Depending on the variety, they can grow to more than 10 inches (25 cm) tall with a horizontal rhizome more than 4 inches (10 cm) long.

The plant came with its leaves rotted. And now looks like the roots are becoming kinda fuzzy coating and I am expecting it will start to rot soon as it was having already some black mushy stuffs which I cleaned from the roots and quarantine them.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my recent purchase of two Anubias Barteri. Very healthy roots and leaves. Shipping was fast as well. And my sticker was fab too!
D
plant was potted sideways in shipping basket, and leaves were folded and creased. i planted in tank, just hope it survives. looks pretty sad
J
They all came looking great with strong and long roots.

One of the prettiest plants delivered by Aquarium Co-op, by far. I purchased and placed it in a rock planter with a root tab to assure, hopefully, its survival. I do not have a good track record for plants living longer than a few weeks. So with fingers crossed.
The plant is so pretty and healthy, it almost looks fake.

At this point PetSmart has bigger healthier plants and I really hate to say that.

I live in Orange County California I ordered on Thursday in the morning got my order Monday at 2pm once I opened my package this plant was in bad condition I thought I'm going to try it still. If I don't try at all I'll never now so I glued it and threw it in I also bought thier fertilizer. Nah it was too late to save it by day 2 it's was no good threw it away.
Not saying aquariumcoop plant isn't good but I feel the little plant didn't make it cause of the long travel

I've been wanting to get the anubias barteri for a while. I love the color and shape of the leaves. I got 2 plants from one pot! The one on the right is wedged between 2 rocks the left one in a crevice. Hopefully they stay there lol
J
No issues, I have ordered many plants from here before. Always love the surprise stickers that come along with orders.

Shipping is fast and the plants are well packed and arrive very healthy. I have made several purchases and will continue to make purchases. I am a super happy customer and.

I was surprised by how large the anubias was at first but after taking it out of the pot I realized it was actually 3 separate plants with 3 rhizomes. 3 for the price of 1! So I was able to plant them in different areas of my tank. One of them came out of the gravel (planted with rhizome above the gravel) but my shrimp was taking it for a ride so I snapped this picture. They look great in my tank and I’m very satisfied with the purchase. This is my second order from aquariumcoop and both times the plants have flourished in my tank. This time I bought the all-in-one fertilizer and I’m already noticing that it’s actually helping keep my algae at bay. I’ll definitely order more plants from them again.

I was so excited to see it start to flower! It's the easiest aquarium plant to care for...and extremely hardy!!
J
I have bought several of these there is always two or three plants per pot well worth the price

I was delighted when I received my order of plants, although I was very concerned that they might be dying off because it took six days to arrive; no fault of the Co-op; UPS was the culprit. Most were in acceptable condition when I unpacked the box, especially the Dwarft Sagitatia. Many of the stems were withered, but I could tell it had been a healthy and bushy plant; the Anubias Barteri were in excellent condition. I proceeded to remove the dead stems and start decorating my aquarium. It has been a week, and they are gaining their health and look beautiful. I recommend Aquarium Co-op to anyone interested in purchasing live plants; they have competitive pricing and great customer service. I have uploaded a pic; the Anubias are in the front, and the Sagiteria are in the middle background.

Plants are beautiful. 2 small ones came in one planter and the leaves look great.
