Got to love their cuteness. :heart: Thanks for the id on the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppygirl Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Another quick question. Can I trim their overgrown roots?, or will that hurt the plant? I have quite a bit of anubias nana that is rhysome and only thin roots, not these very large thick roots. It is true that they need a rhysome to make a new plant and not only one of these very nice roots? I know crypts can grow from a root. I will be most likely tying them to a piece of slate.Thanks.

heff Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 In my limited experience with anubias, their roots are more for latching on than anything else. I'd trim away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jro Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Agreed, Anubias Lanceolota. Trimming the roots is fine. Keep the rhizome intact however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppygirl Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 They must of been grown emmerged, as one lost all it leaves, the other is hanging on to some leaves but expect them to all rot pretty soon. I have never had a anubias that rotted/melted like these did. Crypts yes anubias no. The rhizome is firm and I trimmed the roots so here's to hoping it comes back. I really like the look of them.

A lot of these plants are grown emmersed hydroponically. You can expect existing leaves to wilt. If you see new leaves growing submerged, you have a good shot at keeping it alive. IME, emergent grown plants do best with CO2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jro Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 What Jvision said. As long as the rhizome is firm like you say, expect some leaf die off for the first little bit. It should rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppygirl Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I threw the rhizomes into my cherry shrimp tank- or in my case the anubias hospital tank. I now have about 5 anubias with differing amounts of regrown. Hope these ones regrow-time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jro Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) About 3 years ago I got a small chunk of rhizome for aubias barteri that was maybe an inch long with 3 dying leaves on it for free. The previous owner didn't want it because they thought it was going to die The plant is now bigger than the size of my head. Can't kill anubias almost unless you are purposely trying providing their basic needs are met. I hope yours recovers!
