I have two anubias plants that are slow growing (low tech tank at the moment) but doing ok.
I had to trim off some old algae infected leaves some weeks ago, and now, the new growth is coming at either end of the plant "stem" (ie. the horizontal thick stem which the leaves grow from)
Im explaining it badly, so maybe a crude diagram...
Before trimming: oooooooooooo
After trimming: ooo-----------ooo
My question is - can I just cut out this centre portion out as no new leaves seem to be coming from there? This would create two smaller plants from the one.
Ideally I would like to keep the whole thing as its quite a good size.
In about a week, my tank is going super high-tech - maybe growth will be encouraged in this central portion then?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. its not SP. "Nana", its the standard Anubias.
