this is the piece of african root i got and one tiny piece of anubia nana about a year and a half ago, now the anubia is like 10 inches long divided in two long sterns, what do you think?

by the way, sorry the spots all over the glass, that was after a couple of plants change :P

Looks nice! Anubias looks great when attached to wood!

(PS: I moved this to its own topic so people could comment without hijacking the other thread.)

Looks great. How do you keep your anubia leaves so clean? Mine always seem to get algae... Do you trim it?

so, whats the X-Factor to encourage individual (or in general) plants to flower? my anubia nana has two flowers coming out and im not doing anything fancy? is it in the water?? i do 40% changes every two weeks or ten days or so... i checked online but came out with nothing...

Mine seem to just do it at certain times of year, I believe it had to do with changes in ambient room lighting. My small anubias in my waterdog tank flowers this time of year, but I'm not going to dig thru 10g of java moss to see if it's developing one right now lol :lol:
Best, Corey
