Anubias nana petite finally flowering for me
Had a patch of nana petite glued on a piece of spiderwood for about two years and this week it threw three little white spathes above the waterline. Low tech 20, moderate light, no ferts besides fish food. Anyone else get flowers on their anubias submerged or does it usually need the rhizome poking out of the water?

Mine only flower when the leaves reach the surface, never fully submerged. Nice that yours did it though, they last a few weeks.
Same, ive only seen it on the ones creeping up the glass near the waterline. Congrats mossboss.
nice, three spathes on a submerged petite is rare. mine only did it once the leaves broke the surface too.
the spiderwood sticks up a bit so the tips are probably right at the waterline. will see if the spathes last.
Keep an eye on them, if the spathes hold a few weeks you might get seed pods too, though submerged tips rarely do.
