How did you pollinate the flower? Thats cool! I have several flowering right now.

Surick

You need to have two flowering anubias, are not genetic relatives. They must be in a start to bloom with a difference in 3 - 4 days.
Can only be pollinated inflorescence at the age of 1 - 2 days. When the spatha is fully open, the pollen on the synandrien no.



Pollen taken from the inflorescence in which the spatha began to shut down, on the synandrien appeared pollen. This is usually a 3 - 4 days after the beginning of flowering.



Pollen is transferred to the pistil, with a soft brush for artists.

Vladimir, can you tell me what is the difference btw Anubias barteri var. barteri

Hi Alexandra!
No differences in inflorescence Anubias barteri var. barteri and Anubias barteri var. barteri 'Broad Leaf', I have not found. I think that even Wim Crusio not distinguish them.

To compare inflorescence Anubias barteri var. barteri 'Broad Leaf'.


To distinguish them can only be in shape and size of leaves.

Dear Vladimir! Thanks so much for such a great visual explanation, it is very helpful. I figured online stores with anubias for sale are not run by Wim Crusio , and I am not expecting that, but still many places mislabel plants brutally. And now with your amazing pictures and knowledge you are sharing, I think a lot of people will find this thread very interesting and much needed.
Cheers!
