Are u buying emersed anubias? Check with the seller? The trend for plants that are grown and melt/die immediately seem to be grown above water now a days.

Some plants are grown out of the water. Cause it’s easier and then I’ll grow fast but when placed back under water the plant will die/melt. That might be the prob.
Watch the video link I posted. These seachem products will help you a lot specially if your plants colors fading.
But anubias nana is a very beginner plant which doesn't need a co2 source or even special lighting or any extra care. I don't understand why your plants die. Did you try buying from another supplier the same plants?

I have not tried to bury them. And there is no other supplier in my area to buy those plants unless online other wise. Or like in LA but thats quite a drive 2h
Do you have insanely soft water by chance? I had trouble for a while getting anubias to take off. My water is super soft and acidic. The best tip I could give is to buy from the closest fish store (one that uses the same water supply) and only buy the rhizomes that have stayed healthy for over a month there.
The other thing you can do if that is not an option is to pick plants that are primarily native to acidic regions of the amazon and Asia or just plain indestructible plants like hornwort, water Sprite, valisneria, etc.
If you are dead set on getting the anubias that doesnt seem to like your water try a gh booster or baking soda and bring the water hardness up in a separate container with a few good plants and change the water ever few days and use a little bit less booster each time. The couple times I've tried this I use a 5 gallon bucket and leave it outside for natural lighting.
