Helper Arctic Mama Posted December 15, 2015 Helper Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yup! They're like little lilies. And they can bloom multiple times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Anorea Posted December 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm so excited!! Is there anything I can do to keep it blooming/healthy/happy? How long does the flower last? OMG I'm waaay too excited. I love gardening as well as fish-keeping, so this is so awesome for me.

Helper Arctic Mama Posted December 15, 2015 Helper Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yes, once a baby plant has established you can just cut the runner and anchor the baby plant on its own 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jeana727 Posted December 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) The one I cut into TWO separate plants was big. The main stem is as thick as a finger!! AND I just noticed 2 MORE flowers are beginning to peek out!!!! I think it is safe to say that dividing an Anubas is a good idea (If it is healthy!)!!!

Regular Member Anorea Posted December 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 Oh wow, how exciting! The main stem/root is about half as thick as my pointer finger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Daniel Posted December 16, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2015 Awesome! I like your crypts! They'll produce lovely flowers too if you grow them out of the water emergent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll produce lovely flowers too if you grow them out of the water emergent. Oh is that what those other brownish plants are called? Are you saying I have to grow them taller than the other plants? Wow, so beautiful! And so male looking. :teehee Haha, omg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Daniel Posted December 16, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2015 Nope. They won't grow tall enough to grow out of the tank. What I meant was that if you grew one emergent (in a little glass vase, pot plant, etc) you'd end up with a flower. Growing aquatic plants out of water in a little container has become quite popular in recent years (also known as wabi kusa). It was popularised by the late aquascaper Takashi Amano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LisaCGold Posted December 17, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2015 I was looking around in my shrimp tank today and Guess What? The anubias has sprouted a flower! So cool! Maybe one day the anubias in the main fish tank will decide to shoot off some flowers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually had several grow out of the water. They're rigid enough to do it if it isn't too deep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I love Mr.Amano! Is that the only way the crypts will flower? My tank is sort of deep. Maybe i can make a shelf of some sort in the tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
