- Almond-shaped leaves
- Looks like anubias but plants in substrate
- Easy foreground plant that can grow in low light
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.

How to Plant Schismatoglottis prietoi
1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool. The plant can be planted as one single plant or gently separated into smaller plant clumps if there are multiple nodes.
3. Insert each plant clump into the substrate using planting tweezers or your fingers so that the roots are completely buried, with the leaves above the substrate.
How to Propagate Schismatoglottis Prietoi
The species is similar to cyrptocoryne plants in the way it propagates. The original plant will produce runners or side shoots, 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 replanted elsewhere.
