Wanted Anubias Nana Help

[garuf]

how do you attach this plant to things and what things do you attach it to i bought 3 from tropica with the aim of attaching them to my driftwood but i never thought about how to attach them
can i use just river pebbles and have them as moveable objects?
and can i use normal cotton?

I use elastic bands. Put the elastic band in the centre of each rhizome, then stretch over the object.

Adjust the rhizomes in their new position.

Leave for a month or 2 wiggling them to see if they are secure yet.

Once secure, cut the elastic band and remove.

Cotton thread is fine, or all the above. I use cable ties.

thanks john, good luck with the semi retirement
just out of interest how do you cultivate (is that right?) take clippings from anubias?

Cotton thread is nice because it will dissolve after a view months.

If you want to turn one Anubias into two, all you need to do is break the Rhizome in half (snaps quite easily) when it reaches a decent length.

As it grows the Rhizome will extend and put new leaves out from it's extensions (rather like a telescopic plant root!!)
