Default Anubias Roots


Hey, just checking to see if it's OK to cut the roots of anubias plants? They usually get in the way when you're trying to tie them onto a piece of rock or driftwood.

I usually do when attaching them. Has been no problem. Most stock is grown emersed anyway and they need time to adjust to being submerged. Might lose a a few leaves, but they come back strong.

Cut away, the plant will do just fine. However make sure to leave some root, you don't won't to cut them completely off.
