I have the Anubius Barterii var. nana.
I am wondering how important you think the roots are for any anubias species as far as nutrient uptake. I know they will grow with the roots in or out of the substrate but I want to hear your personal experiences with this.
My personal experience is it may or may not be important but my anubias really stopped growing when I trimmed the old emersed leaves off and the old roots. Once it got some of those spiny roots and a couple of the longer roots that try to reach the substrate it took off. Now it is growing so well that I don't want to move it just in case the roots have a major contribution to the spurt.
Share you experience with the roots and if you think they have any effect on growth rates and why. Also include your species so I can gather more info for another profile.
