Flowers on Anubis.

Umm what should I do, leave it on there, take it off? Can I use it to seed other plants?

I don't really know much about those little beasties, what type of Anubias is it?


As far as I know it's common for Anubias to flower under water however they will not go to seed, they need to be ABOVE water to be pollinated. When they are grown above water the flowers can be hand pollinated and they will go to seed....

Edit - Even then, upon research, it seems to take about a year before you have any type of viable plant.... rather interesting though....  Maybe you can give it a go and do a talk on it.


For that reason I do believe that the flowers are completely useless in the aquarium.

K, I don't think I could be bothered with the immersed growing. I think it is a Nana but I'm not sure, it was sold as a coffeefolia , but its different from the other coffeefolia that I have.
