Hey, don't stress too much. My Anubias took almost a year to really take off. As long as it's not melting, you're doing fine. Maybe add some floating plants to shade it a bit if the light's too strong.

Might wanna check your temp too. These plants prefer it between 72 and 78°F. Too cold or hot, and they'll just sit there.

Good point. Also, avoid burying the rhizome when attaching Anubias or Java Fern to driftwood or rocks. Burying it can cause rot and halt growth entirely.

My cat knocked over my tank last week. Now the plants are growing like crazy. Maybe stress triggers growth? Just kidding. But seriously, maybe try a slight shake-up in your routine.
