Substrates for emersed crypts and anubias

Recommended Posts

Ive recently decided to have a crack and some emersed crypt and anubias cultivation. Currently have 2 potted crypts (1 has been emersed for 3-4wks now, the other i just purchased today), and a bare root anubias i picked up today. Not sure what the crypts are in now but im thinking of repotting them anyway. For the crypts ive been considering just a sand/coco peat mix or one of the commercial plant substrates, amazonia i think it is? For the anubias i have no idea what to put it in? Any ideas?

I would definitely go with something more nutrient rich than just sand and coco nut fibre, I would mix in some crushed coral or shells as well since pretty much all of the commercially available species like a slightly more alkaline media.
