All you need to do is get it into the position you like and tie it down with some black cotton, fine fishing line or rubber bands. The cotton/rubber bands eventually break and then you can remove them. If your using fishing line make sure it is close fitting to the object otherwise fish may get caught up in it. Rubber bands would be my last choice as they dont look very nice. When you attach it make sure you dont pull it too tight or you may damage the rhizome (cut into it). Another plant that you can attach to driftwood is Java Fern and of course Java Moss. I think any plant with a rhizome can be attached. Hope this helps Cheers - Crusha Those who say they cant, Never will !!!

I would say after about 6 weeks you could probably take the line off. You'll know when just by looking at the growth. When I've used the rubber bands i've just left them on there until they break. Have fun Those who say they cant, Never will !!!

Over time, the thread will rot away leaving the roots firmly attached. Yes that plant will survive a UGF.. I have yet to find one that won't.
