My anacharis got slightly damaged during transport and 2 of the stems were broken partly and now they have both fallen off. For now I have just stuck the leaves into the glass because it looks better with the big leaves (it only has 3 tiny leaves left now), i'll leave them in there until they die off. How long will it take for new leaves to grow? Once I take out the leaves it will look so tiny in the big tank!

i guess it would depend on your lighting, but my anarcharis outside , grew overnight. literally. i had to "mow" it constantly, i threw piles of it out in the yard. it would send down small white roots but grew fine just floating. and it bloomed.

i havent found any water plants that wont grow like..well weeds. duckweed was eaten so fast, it didnt have time to grow but the rest, wow. i had 2 ft piles of the stuff in my compost pile. that was with goldfish and koi eating it also.

i dont think you can hurt it unless it dries out. you can take some pieces out and stick them in a jar or something in a window if you need some fast growth.

right now im fighting brown algae inside and have taken almost everything out of my tank.

sorry I meant anubias, I keep getting that mixed up! I also have anacharis, that was my first plant and I keep mixing up the names lol.

Anubias is a very slow growing plant the leaves will grow back over time but it will be so slow you not notice a new leaf take it's place

Im going to take the leaves out and stick them in a different tank until they die cause the goldies keep pulling them out. It looks really small now but hopefully it will gorw another leaf soon, it only has 3 small ones now cause it lost its 3 big ones

another one broke off! This time I blame the fish cause they've been trying to rip apart my plant all day yesterday and this morning so Im gonna try putting more riverstones around the base.
