Care Tips: Anubias barteri butterfly is a beautiful variation of Anubias, known for its unique leaf shape resembling butterfly wings. It thrives in low to moderate lighting conditions and has a slow growth rate, making it a great choice for low-maintenance aquariums. Like other Anubias species, its rhizome should not be buried in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. It should be attached to rocks or driftwood. Anubias barteri butterfly works well in the midground or background of aquariums, and periodic pruning helps maintain its compact and elegant form.
