Anubias Barteri Butterfly

Anubias barteri 'Butterfly' is an exceptionally hardy, slow-growing, epiphyte cultivar of the standard Anubias barteri family. It is named for its unique, broad, slightly wavy, heart-shaped leaves that resemble the spread wings of a butterfly.

• Placement: Midground or background. Secure it directly to driftwood, stones, or hardscape.
• Critical Rule: Do not bury the horizontal rhizome (main root structure) in substrate, or the plant will rot and die.
• Lighting: Low to moderate. Avoid high lighting, which promotes yellowing leaves and green spot algae growth.
• CO2 & Fertilizers: Not required. It thrives in low-tech setups, though liquid fertilizer and CO2 injection will accelerate its naturally slow growth rate.
