KALgxh Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Does anyone have experience with mother pots? More specifically, anubias mother pots? I have some anubias in my tank but they’re all small, so I’m thinking of getting a mother pot for my betta. Has anyone had problems with them melting back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Some do and some do not for me. I have the best luck if I remove the pot and rock wool right away. I ordered 6 mother plants. 4 did not melt 2 did 🤪 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Most anubias can be pretty forgiving in terms of melting back. A mother pot vs. some other size pot just usually refers to the size of the plant. For a betta, I think you'd be fine with basically anything that says "anubias" on the label regardless of size of the initial plant. You can even use suction cups and some thread/fishing line to tie the plants up high for the betta to rest on. 🙂 The main thing is to just check the rhizome when you first get them for signs of decay and see what you can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anubias mother pots I have received from a well-known online purveyor of aquatic plants were large and wonderful. The only time I have seen anubias melt is once when I put some meds in my tank that the plants clearly did not appreciate.
