Hints

Schismatoglottis prietoi is a real novelty and an enrichment for aquariums. The plant is a little reminiscent of a small-growing Anubias but has much softer leaves. It can be planted directly into the soil, with a very good rate of propagation. According to initial experiences, this new beauty from the Philippines also grows on roots or stones. It is highly recommended for smaller aquariums such as Nano Cubes. Due to its compact growth and small size, in the near future it will also be used frequently in aquascaping.

Schismatoglottis Prietoi Nano Plant Care in Singapore

This Philippine novelty reminds many hobbyists of a small Anubias, but with much softer, more delicate leaves. Its modest size, roughly six to twelve centimetres, makes it a lovely choice for nano cubes and the compact HDB-friendly tanks so common in Singapore. It spreads slowly by runners, gradually forming a neat low cluster, so plant it where it has a little room to fill in over time without crowding faster neighbours.

Care is genuinely easy. It is a slow, undemanding grower that tolerates a wide range of pH and hardness, so our soft, slightly acidic dechlorinated tap water is well within its comfort zone, and it needs no heater at our ambient 27-29C. It does not require CO2 and prefers moderate rather than intense light, which also keeps algae off its slow-growing leaves. Patience suits this plant; once settled, it quietly establishes and asks for very little.
