Anubias Nano

[Arcticfox1977]

I have recently bought 1 of these plants. It was healthy and green when I received it. In the last few days there is 1 leaf that turns brown and falls off. Its tied to a piece of bogwood and I'm dosing my plants with ei ferts. Can anyone suggest what could be wrong with it?

Can you get a pic up? It could have been damage in transit or could it be tied too tightly to the wood and the thread's cut into the stem?

I wouldn't worry about that. Just cut it off now, before it starts to decompose. The rest of the plants looks healthy

It's Anubias barteri var. nana, btw

very nice plant but this type of plant is notorious for melting, in which because it is grown out of the water (emersed) for sale it will usually shed its leafs and regrow its new leafs in its environment, honestly i have never had a successful anubias nana grow in my tank other than emersed in my current bottle setup but good luck and it dose look nice and healthy at the moment

Oh wow! How odd!

I bought one, three or four years ago, and have loads of new ones grown from cuttings all over the place now.
