Anubias Nana Petite Splitting Rhizomes safely

Use a sharp razor to minimize the trauma to the adjacent tissue. Make sure each piece of rhizome has 4 or 5 nice leaves on it. Trying to split off a piece that is too small can be trouble.

You sometimes get a bit of rot at the wound margins, but not usually too much.

ok thanks. The reason I asked was I once ordered 2 Anubia Nana from a member here. When I received the Rhizomes each had 5-6 leaves which was great. After 2 days both of the Rhizomes began melting away and within 1 week both rhizomes had shed their leaves and were rotting in the tank. I looked at the rhizomes and noticed they could have just been a single plant split which was dissapointing. Don't want to see that happen again.
