Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia was first described by Adolf Engler in 1915.[1]

Distribution

[edit]

West Africa: South-west Nigeria, Fernando Po, Cameroon.[1]

Description

[edit]

This plant's large leave blades are 1.5-2.5 times as long (10–23 cm) as wide (5-14) cm long. The petioles are 10–54 cm long, from 1-2.5 times as long as the blade. The base of the leaf is typically lobed.[citation needed]

Cultivation

[edit]

Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and prefers a temperature range of 22-28 degrees C. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.[citation needed]
