Superglue Help

[PDSimon]

So I want to use super glue to attach some plants, is cyanoacrylate suitable?

Whats the best method of attaching them?

 

[anshuman]

this superglue means the same glue used to build fishtank right? like aquarium glue to stick glass?

cyanoacrylate is fine for aquarium use, what plants are you gonna glue?

give the roots a good trim before you attach it, to promote some healthy root growth. Just be aware that the glue will cure white though so don't go OTT or you'll see white patches all over the wood.

War, huh! de de der dum dum

Can you use cotton thread to tie plants onto bogwood? Or is this thread likely to leech dye into the water?

best stuff to use is fishing line, virtually invisible, cheap and you can remove it once the plant has held

People have been known to use rubber bands to hold rhizome based plants. Often these rot and snap in the tank, but by the time that happens the plant is well fixed.

You can wedge them into nooks and crannies which will hold them on.

People have even stapled rhizomes to wood, but you got to make sure the staples are big and wont crush or pierce the rhizomes! also, getting them out is a pain!! (not a recommended method!)
