Anubias

[skulls]

Don't bury the rhizome. Otherwise you can do what you want.

I have a few tied to bogwood with fishing line.

>>> Don't bury the rhizome.

... if you do, it will rot.

I have some anubias with its roots buried in the bravel but the rhizome sitting above the gravel, it's doing fine.

Do the roots need to be in the gravel at all? I have an Anubias congensis.

 

[Silly me]

the roots doesnt needs to be in the gravel, the Anubias barteri nana can even be planted out of the water as long as the roots and rhizome is wet it will grow.

I have some attached to a piece of wood growing out of the water, the growth out of the water is very high.

It will grow best with the roots in the gravel, but if the roots aren't long enough to bury, you can let the rhizome float a few inches above the substrate, and it will send down roots.
