Splitting Plants

[Rose22]

I have 2 Anubias plants that have gotten much bigger then I would like for where they are planted. I would like to cut pieces off and fill in some other spots with the cuttings. How do you do this? Can you do it?

You can simply cut the rhizome in half or three etc. Just make sure that you have at least 4-8 leaves on each piece and some nice roots.

I thought the rhizome is the root. I've still been trying to figure out how to propagate plants

The rhizome is the large root that the leaves grow off of.

Go on YouTube and search cutting anubias by Dustin fish tanks. It explains and shows how to.
