best plant Growth tips
My Anubias aren't growing as fast as I'd like. I've got them in a 20-gallon tank with moderate lighting and CO2. Any tips to speed things up?

Anubias are slow growers by nature, but you can try increasing your light intensity slightly. What's your current photoperiod? Also, are you dosing any fertilizers?

I had the same issue until I started using root tabs. My Anubias went from barely surviving to actually putting out new leaves. Maybe give that a shot?

Yep, root tabs are a game-changer. Also, make sure they're not buried too deep in the substrate. They like their rhizomes exposed.

I've found that Anubias do better when attached to driftwood or rocks instead of being planted. Maybe try that if you haven't already.

How often are you doing water changes? I've noticed mine perk up after a fresh change, especially if I've been slacking.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try the root tabs and adjust the light. Appreciate the help!

Also, don't stress if they don't grow super fast. Anubias are kinda chill like that. Slow and steady wins the race.
