Attaching Java Fern/anubias

The lower portion of my annubia happens to be behind a forest of java ferns. Sometimes I do shove a little of the rock down into the gravel but then there are times like the last couple of days when I was so lax that I left it turned over on its side after a tank clean and then haven't bothered to stick my arm in and turn it upright - every time I see it I laugh and think the side leaves are enjoying getting the full light for a change

For example, I have an Anubia Nana that is simply tied to a medium sized round rock with a "twist-em" from the kitchen (plasic covered, not paper twist-em and sometimes I laugh and think the slightly rusting little wire might actually give my plants some iron nutrient!)

isn't rust toxic to fish?

No, It's only Iron oxide, it occurs in rocks and all-sorts.

A certain amount of iron is needed in the tank for plant health but I doubt the wire from a twist tie rusting is what is intended. I use fishing line to tie a rhizome to an object, often it is a bit of driftwood that holds my plants.

I'm using objects to wedge them in place and so far so good.

Here's a rhizome

Here's another
