Anubias Barteri - Not To Be Planted In Substrate? Please Help!

[totally tropical]

I have looked at various websites regarding this plant and it mentions that it can be attached to wood, rocks etc - does this mean that it is not supposed to be planted in the substrate. I have just bought a large Anubias and don't want it dying on me!

I have already taken a large Java Fern out of its pot (just purchased also) as I know that these plants must not be buried in the substrate.

One other question as both plants have the plant wool from the pots covering the roots, do I gently remove or just leave?

Thank you.

just dont plant the rhizome, which is where all of the stems are coming from, you can push it into the substrate, just make sure this isnt fully submerged in it.

You remove plants from pots as they struggle to grow, gently peel this off from around the plant and then seperate into lots of plants and then plant

Many thanks - will the plant be ok if not planted in the substrate and if so, do I take the plant wool of both plants java fern and Anubias as it will look pretty unsightly otherwise?

yes, personally considering both of the plants mentioned i would attatch them to an item of decor with some dark cotton.
