I know someone with a lovely plant about fifty cms large and its sitting in a bird pond doing nothing..... they wont get rid of it but maybe if i can take a cutting and grow it they might let me.......haha <br> So please if anyone has any experience with this could you please let me know........ <br> Thanks everyone, <br> Nick.... </P></DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: searlesy</STRONG><BR><BR>Nick, if you have the time, you can just place another piece of driftwood touching the roots of the anubias on the other piece of wood, and in a short period of time, the roots will grow over to the new piece, sprout a leaf or 2, and then just carefully seperate the 2 pieces of wood, cutting the roots that join the pieces. </P></DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: MagicaDiSpell</STRONG><BR><BR>You can certainly take cuttings, no problem at all. Remember these plants are waterplants and take up nutrients through all parts of the plants, not just the roots (unlike their terrestrial cousins). The roots are just or at least mainly for anchoring purposes. I have just split my Anubias nana into three. All look happy and healthy and are growing. </P></DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: hungsta</STRONG><BR><BR>I always let my cuttings have 10 or so leaves but i have read that >5 is fine. <br> </DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: njmpm</STRONG><BR><BR>Hi people, <br> Thanks for the replies...... all i have to do now is convince then to give me a cutting....... lol <br> very much appreciated guys/girls..... <br> thanks <br> Nick <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
