Default "rootless" plants

I was wondering... what plants can be grown on objects instead of in
substrate? I already know of java moss and java fern; any others? I'm
looking for non-floating plants, btw.


African fern, aka Bolbitis. All the varieties of Anubias. There are

other
mosses, too, like Christmas moss and willow moss.

Amano covers rocks and driftwood with Riccia, by tying it with fishing

line. I
don't think it attaches by itself, but it does well grown that way.

Riccia is a beautiful plant, but I need something that can handle less than
optimum lighting and no CO2 injection. IIRC anubias has a rep. for being
hardy, and it looks good. I'll try that.

thanks for the info,
