Anubias barteri 'Short & Sharp' is a unique and compact variety of the popular Anubias barteri species, offering an elegant option for aquascaping freshwater aquariums. This variant is characterized by its elongated, pointed leaves that present a refined, lance-like structure. Well-suited for a range of aquarium environments, Anubias barteri 'Short & Sharp' is known for its adaptability, hardiness, and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for both novice aquarists and experienced aquascaping enthusiasts.
The plant propagates through rhizome division. To achieve propagation, cut sections of the rhizome ensuring that each piece has several leaves attached.

Its ease of cultivation, along with its versatile aquascaping applications, make it a valuable addition to any freshwater aquarium.

All replacements are considered final and we will not replace the replacement.
Please be aware that our Live Arrival Guarantee is subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the guarantee will not be applicable in cases where the package is marked as 'invalid address', 'undeliverable' or is 'returned to sender.' This includes situations such as a vacant delivery address, a missing apartment number, or any other issues that prevent the postal service from delivering your package.

Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
