In some tanks, plants grow above the surface and Anubius occasionally flower
Is your substrate just gravel here? Did you have natural light to the tanks? Great looking tanks.

Most of the substrate is pool filter sand, with a smattering of Fluorite.
Some Fluorite strategically placed near certain plants like the Tiger lotus.
There is a some natural light, 2 to 3 hours of indirect sunlight per day from a southern exposure.
A friend of mine is a reef tank keeper, and regularly changed out reef bulbs every 6 months, I would take his old bulbs and used them over my planted tanks.
As you can see once planted, I let plants do their own thing, and only trim when then cover the surface and block light.
