Mine is growing about a leaf per week to 10 days. I would like to cut in half or maybe more pieces. How much of the rhizome do I need to make a new plant? Does it need roots and a leaf or two? Has anyone tried different ways, ie- no leaf, one leaf, just nicking the rhizome with a razor to encorage growth at that spot, etc...
Heres a pic of the plant,
p.s. do you know what kind of Anubias the arrows are pointing at?

I've found that Anubias are best divided into sections with at least three leaves and a good amount of root stock. Roots are more important, so if you've got a bunch with one or two leaves but a lot of roots that's ok. Oppositely, if you've got bunches of leaves and just a little root, cut farther back so there will be more root mass.

That's all there is to it,
Phil

also make sure that the cut you make is with a very sharp scissor or knife... that way, you make a clean cut and you damage less tissue...which means your plant will recover faster and avoid rotting.

Or you could just let it grow big, auction itm, and use that money to buy a few more little plants. Large anubias nana are quite in demand, looking at aquabids auctions.
