Tying Java Fern To Biorb Filter Rocks

[Wanderer]

I got my first few aquarium plants, a pair of small Java Ferns for each tank (they didn't arrive in the best of health I might say, but nevermind). I read that you can't plant them in the substrate because the roots will rot, that they need to be tied to rocks or wood. I saw some biorb ceramic media rocks on a site and it said they could be used for tying plants to. However they are very small "rocks". So I have got a handful of rocks for each plant and bound the rocks together with the roots using small tights (which have been pre-soaked to remove anything harmful in the material). I hope that the way I have done this will be ok, and that the roots will not rot. Once the roots have established themselves to the rocks then perhaps I can remove the material.

You should be fine but you can also use super glue, works great, doesn't harm fish and in contact with water instantly hardens.

Just be careful with superglue as it does go white underwater and can stick out like a sore thumb if you blob it about too much (you can tell I speak from experience )
