Identifying and splitting rhizomes?

[cephei]

Hi guys,

Does anybody have any links or info on how to identify rhizomes and how to split them properly?

cheers

a rhizome is basically a horizontal branch with the roots growing down and the leaves growing up, to split it i'd use a razor blade or a very sharp knife. never bury the rhizome tie it to wood or a rock you can bury the loose roots if you want to put it in the substrate

Bushwhacker hit it right on the money. The best results I get is from using a very sharp craft knife and then attaching it to spaces in my wood with black cotton thread. By the time the cotton thread has broken, the Anubias will have attached.

Try to get 4-5 leaves & some good roots on each piece
