Whats the best way of attaching it to bogwood?

cotton?

Fishing line?

Superglue? (Think i saw this in another thread)

And what do you tie down, the actual roots or the stems?

Thanks.

I used dental floss (non-minty of course)

I've tried a few ways, best so far seems to be superglue (I used the superglue gel).

do not recomend that one!!!!


fishing line
newer use dental floss

but surely glue is a toxin, and i cannot believe its safe to use in water with fishes even after it dries.

I would never use I would not be able to go to sleep

Cyanoacrylate glues (which most superglues are) cure instantly on contact with water. Reefers use them all the time, apparently.

If you can get a rubber band around the feature you want to attach to, that works too. Attaching at the rhizome will let the plant keep growing as it had, but strapping down a leaf will eventually make the plant form new rhizomes from the leaf-- you will get small 'plantlets' sprouting from it.

rubber band...done this loads and loads of times...works well
