{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[ {"@type":"Question","name":"Does Anubias need CO2 or high light?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Anubias is one of the few aquarium plants that thrives without CO2 or strong lighting. Low to medium light with no supplementation is enough for healthy growth, which is why it's the standard beginner recommendation."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"Can I plant Anubias in substrate?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. The rhizome must stay above the substrate or it will rot. Tie or glue it to driftwood or rock instead; only the roots should be buried."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"Why is my new Anubias melting or turning translucent?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"This is usually transition melt as emersed nursery-grown leaves adjust to being fully submerged, not disease. New, fully aquatic leaves typically replace them within a few weeks."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"How fast does Anubias grow?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Slowly. Expect one new leaf every few weeks depending on light and CO2. This is normal and part of why it's such a low-maintenance plant."}} ]}
