Can anyone tell me what sort of conditions are suitable for my anubia nanas to flower. They have been established in the same tank, on a lump of wood, for about 10 months now. They have grown very vigorously since I got them, but they are not flowering.
Can anyone help me to help my plants flower?

mine are immersed (bottom of a 37g) and bloom a couple times a year. My "trick" must be neglecting regular maintenance. When I think back, they seem to have bloomed when my vals have been overgrown and giving them shade. Sorry that isn't much to go on, but it is possible for them to bloom underwater.
