Riccia On Bogwood

[Spiceweasel69]

How well will riccia take mopani wood. I have a LARGE piece, and want to plant on it. I was told riccia was a good choice and to tie it on, but how well will it root, and will it all break off and fill my tank with leaves.

 

[KentBlokey]

It won't root. Riccia is a floating plant that can be help down with netting, cotton, etc.
The wood (or slate) is just to keep it weighed down.

Clicky.

what about java moss. Will that root? any others?

 

[George Farmer]

Java moss doesn't really root but does attach itself after a while.

Anubias barteri and var. (nana, nana petite etc.), Microsorium pteropus and var. and Bolbitis heudelotii are all ideal for attaching to wood.

Common Names? What do i ask for? Im new to plants

 

[George Farmer]

Anubias nana, Java fern and African or Congo fern.

The trouble with common names is there's room for misunderstanding i.e. there's 3 or 4 varities of Anubias barteri, the same with Java fern. Most shops will stock the common variaties though.
