hey- i have a fairly decent size anubia coffeolis( sorry if i mis-spelled, not sure on the exact spelling) that i would like to propagate. i am just not sure on how to go about it. i have done this many times before with my amazon swords, but have never cut an anubia. its has roughly 12-15 leaves on it and has grown quite well, almost doubled in foliage, under 1.5wpg with weekly dosings of seachem flourish, excel, and tetra florapride. anyway, id appreciate some advice on how to do it. thanks
 
Just make sure you have a very sharp knife and you cut it cleanly. Make sure to leave a couple leaves and roots on each segment of the rhizome. This is a very hardy plant, so it should bounce right back. I recently cut mine in half and one of the halves flowered shortly after and didn't miss a beat, in respects to leaf growth. Good luck.
