How do I plant an anubius in mopani wood??

Take a piece of string, I prefer a green string that you would use to stitch with, and tie the Anubias to the wood. Make sure not to over exert the rhizome!

What part is the rhiOme

 

[TankMan]

This is. It's not exactly roots, but it's not the stem.

It doesn't have to be. It can be put on a rock, or floated above the substrate and allowed to grow roots into the substrate. The most important thing is that the rhizome( the part that meets the roots and leaf stems ) not be smothered by anything. Otherwise it will impede growth or worse, rot the rhizome and eventually kill the plant.
