Well hopefully it keeps growing for you! The roots still look really good!

thanks! when it melted completely, i thought it had some sort of disease or rot that stopped it from growing so i split the rhizome hoping one would die and one would live. low and behold, this one started sprouting, and now i can see the other one is also growing new leaves. its almost as if they were dormant, or maybe just suuuuper slow growers. im happy theyre finally gonna start looking like anubias and not just a chunk of rhizome haha

The only bad thing is they grow soooooo slooooow. Now that it is growing leaves it should take off for you. Just try not to try to move it or anything so it doesn't stop again! lol

i think its growing again bc i started dosing regularly, before i just had a tiny bottle and would chuck some fertilizer in randomly, which was probably not enough. now that im fertilizing im also seeing more growth on my java fern

All plants want some food! They may not need as much as other plants but they still need something. They are hungry too. Thats just my opinion. I just do once a week because mine are doing good with that amount. Water change---ferts.
