How to Attach Anubias to Driftwood and Rocks: 3 Easy Ways (Beginners Too)! 🌱🌿

Рет қаралды 48,307

Күн бұрын

Hello! Anubias is a great aquatic plant for even the beginner and can be super simple to add to your aquarium because it doesn't even need to be planted! All you need to do is attach it to a hardscaping element in your tank (such as rock or wood) and in this video I show you 3 easy, quick and painless ways to do it! No worries - you won't hurt your anubias OR glue your fingers together. :)

Hi Joanna! Thanks for another video. We have had bad luck when using superglue on our anubias (and our Java fern as well). We glued the roots to the hardscapes, however after a few weeks, those roots died off and melted back, resulting in the plants floating loose. We ended up using some yarn, but that was also a struggle! Will definitely try your method 2a. Have a blessed day and New Year!

Anubias is about the only plant I can keep alive. But I've never attached it to anything because I was afraid I would kill it. I always just wedge the roots between rocks to keep it from floating, but it never looks good. But I think I'm going to be brave and try attaching it with the wire method and see how it goes!

Hi. This is really helpful. I just got back into the hobby after 20 years and am new to using live plants. One problem I am having is with the plants which you actually plant into the substrate (i.e. amazon swords, crypts). I am finding them hard to stay in the substrate and after eventually getting them them to stay, looking a bit lopsided with roots sticking out. I am using fluval stratum so not sure they would be easier to plant with a different type. Any tips or tricks on planting into substrate would be appreciated.

@77slate 3 жыл бұрын

Try topping the stratum with sand, aqua soils will hold the nutrients but not dense enough to hold fine roots the sand will compact and give those roots a better grip

@thesmallscape 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes, that’s the trickiest part of planting. I think that’s why I became such an Anubias fan right out of the gate. What I personally like to do is sometimes cut the roots a bit so they are not so long (3” max) not everyone would though. Mound the substrate where you want the plant and then drag the plant into position from maybe 6” or 7” away. I have not used stratum, I personally find the fine sand the easiest to work with. You could also place a few small rocks or pebbles (if it works with your scape) around the plant and gently tamp roots in that way. I will have a “easy ways to plant” video out sometime soon - good luck!

Lol! Well, we got the majority of our stash at the last Aquashella but our larger aquarium stores usually have a really nice selection. ☺️

My concern is that wire eroding over time and putting toxins from the metal into the water.

Do you have any white anubias? I like to wedge anubias into cracks in wood itself. I've also used bonsai wire, just be careful because some bonsai wire is copper.

Hi MTS!! I’ve had white Anubias only once. Wedging is my favorite method! Fast and simple (if they behave) ☺️

@@thesmallscape I've been putting off scaping this tank, because I'm a procrastinating perfectionist, but I hope to do it this week. It's going to have some white anubias, purple bacopa, and dark green buce, along with some other plants.

Doesn't that glue turn white once dried and put into the tank?

Hi! Yes it does, that’s a good thing to keep in mind when placing it. ☺️

May I know for Anubias and Bucephalandra, should I trim back all broken, brown leaves and those with holes? To encourage growth

@meggrotte4760 2 жыл бұрын

That's why I don't like gluing things because my fingers get stuck together
