Anubias nana question

[fgump]

Can anubias nana be attached to driftwood? Or is it better off planted in the substrate?

If it can be attached, how long does it take before it's roots are anchored enough to so it can be untied?

I plant my Anubias Nana.

You can try cotton thread. it should keep the plant attached and it will slowly dissolve. Hopefully by the time it dissolves the plant will be attached and you wont have to do any untying. I always attach my anubias to a piece of hardscape.

Yes u can atach it to driftwood! But if u plant it dont get all roots under gravel leave some out!

Ive read that if the rizhome is in contact with the substate it can rot and die.

rhizome in contact with the substrate will kill it? I have heard buried. My anubias are planted in the substrate and bloom often, grow like mad (for anubias) and are great additions to my tank. (rhizome not buried)

I have some attached to driftwood and some planted, they both seem to be doing equally well.

Bold above my emphisis.

I'm sorry if I'm not getting this. How is it planted in the substrate without the rizome not buried?

Q

Only the roots are buried. The rhizome is the horizontal bar that the roots come out of. It can be done, and I have done it many times. Here is a pic. You can plant the roots deeper than that up to the rhizome, but in that pic it have gotten moved around a bit and started coming out of the sand.

what sammie said
just don't bury the main rhizome.
I attach mine to driftwood and it does very well
some fresh cuttings may not have 'roots; ..on those just strap em to a solid object.
