you might want to remove the plants from the pots, they will stunt and may not last as long.

I just got the plants a couple weeks ago. Was thinking about getting some sort of larger pot because I want to concentrate a substrate in it or I'm going to simply tie them to a piece of driftwood. Ultimately these plants are just trying to expand and will need to come out of the pots they're in now to be transferred to something. I was told by the person that grew them that they would be fine in the pot for now until they got too big.

Agree with ianho. Remove the plants from the pot, and plant in the substrate if that is their requirement for planting (anubias, java fern, mosses should be attached to wood and rockwork). Even if the substrate is inert. They will still grow.

I have been reading more and more and found they are planted in rock wool. I have never had plants do so well. What do you think of me getting a larger cube of this rock wool and shape it into a larger pot? This seems almost like it can't fail.

 

[lljdma06]

No, remove the rock wool. The wool cuts the circulation that the roots need.

 

[PDSimon]

Aren't your other plants plastic? thats probably why they don't grow so much.

In addition, anubias grow via rhizome and should be attached to wood or rock work with the rhizome exposed to the water column. If the rhizome is submerged or doesn't get adequate circulation, it will rot, killing the plant.
