Any tips on plants that will attach to stone or wood?
I have 8 tanks ranging from 3 to 75 gallons and they are all planted.
Seachem products seem to do a great job but using them is time consuming.
Any suggestions on types of plants,glues, techniques, etc would be appreciated.
Thanks, Barb Dekle

Anubias and java fern are best attached to rocks or wood as the rizomes need to be above the substrate. You can attach by using a bit of superglue or attaching via thin thread. If you use superglue, you should let it dry about 15 minutes before putting it back into the tank.

If you use superglue, you should let it dry about 15 minutes before putting it back into the tank.

Also be aware that superglue dries white. I use it but if the looks bother you pay attention to how much you use and where it is located.

I have bolbitis and bucephalandra (2 species) as well as java fern and anubias attached to wood.

Thanks for your responses! Can you use other Super Glue brands as well? I’m on a mission to find one that dries clear. Thanks
