I've been struggling with my Anubias for months, but finally got them to thrive. What's your biggest plant success story? I'm curious what worked for others.

My Java Ferns went from barely hanging on to taking over the tank. I switched to a lower light setup and added some root tabs. Now they're gonna need a trim soon, lol.

I had a similar issue with my Anubias. They just wouldn't grow until I moved them to a spot with more flow. Now they're spreading like crazy. What's your tank setup like, duskhunter?

My biggest win was with Cryptocoryne Wendtii. They melted at first, but after a few weeks, they bounced back and now look amazing. Patience is key with these guys.

That's interesting. I've got a 20-gallon with moderate flow. Maybe I'll try adjusting the placement.

My Amazon Swords are out of control. I started with one, now I've got like five. They love the dirted substrate and weekly ferts. Anyone else into swords?

I finally got my Monte Carlo to carpet. It took forever, but CO2 and high light did the trick. Now it's spreading like wildfire.

My biggest success was with Vallisneria. It's growing so fast I have to trim it every other week. It's kinda taken over the tank, but the fish love it.

Dude, my Duckweed is outta control. I know it's a weed, but it's thriving like crazy. My tank looks like a green carpet on top. Weird flex, I know.

I managed to get my Bucephalandra to flower. It was a total fluke, but now I'm obsessed with trying to make it happen again.
