what is the correct K-N-P ratio?
saw a fertilizer which says 14 - 14- 14.
can that be used?
i'd liek to use for my anubias emersed

K-N-P ratio?

The ratio in the USA is given as N-P-K, for submerse aquatics the normal use is approximately 10 : 1 : 20 (Nitrogen 10 time the level of phosphate, potassium twice the nitrogen).
oh!, thanks guess i'll have to dose them separately..
i'll try to look for K and N.
just noticed that my plant fertilizer doesn't indicate NPK.

In this country, it cannot be labelled as a fertilizer unless it has at least one of those three nutrients, and with the concentrations of each specified in the proper order. This creates a problem for trace element mixes, as here they cannot be legally labelled as "fertlizer", even though they are - they have to be labelled as "supplements".
In emerse growth, the best ratio may be different from that given for submerse growth. I've only grown Anubias emerse using a waterfall into a veggie filter tank, such that it was getting sprayed with tank water constantly - no additions beyond those already in the water were used.

8-10 is fine.
You should be able to grow thenm fine outside there.
Dig a hole, plant near a stream etc.

thanks they are in a 2.5 gallon tank right now
so should the rhizome be under water? or is it ok for it just to be moist?

thanks i thought the rhizome should be under water...
btw here are some pictures of my anubias,
Coffefolia with small leaves
coffeefolia with yellow leaves
and here's my barteri... cut from a mother plant.
do you guys think they look healthy?
what could they be lacking?
