Default Anubia emersed: roots in the air, on a wood

Hi,

I just put this night some anubia nana petite plantlets in my emersed setup (moisted soil, no water level above soil). I soldered them on a wood, no soil contact. I'm wondering if they will do it with the roots exposed to the air, no water, 80% humidity?

I was afraid, so took some of the wool they came with and slipped it over the roots on the wood to maintain them wet. I wouldn't like to keep the wool too long to avoid rooting in it. It will be then a pain to remove it once the aquarium will be submerged few weeks later.

Please advice me on this way of growing anubia emersed, roots in the air, on a wood

Great, many thanks for the answer. I keep moisture above 80% all the time. I'll try to remove the rockwool I layed on it

I was wondering about the downoi. It's emergent form is pretty ugly. How long have you had it out of water?

Here is a video by Tropica showing both forms of Dao Noi growth.
They say it looks the same in both conditions, both below and under fast flowing water.

That's interesting. I read your link and see where it says that it's found in both submerged and emersed, but don't see where it says that it has the same form.

I've bought the emersed form. It's ugly. I have watched it change to the submerged form in my tank. Look at the 2nd px in this link and you can see it's emersed form. That px is the plant I got that then changed into the downoi plant we all know and love.

Thats the same photo(AB.com) I sent to Lars at Tropica! He said he had never seen it look like that before

Strange weeds That sure was a not so attractive plant in that photo
