Anubias to driftwood ?
"DEAN & MELISSA WILLIAMS" wrote in message
... Hi from downunder How do you attach Anubias to driftwood ? I have tried fishing line but it became loose before the roots take hold any advice welcome. I use the lead wire that you get when you buy plants. One or two pieces over the rhizome and part of the roots are enough to keep the plant weighted down until it has attached itself. And the lead wire is easy to remove once that has happened. Cheers, Michi. -- Michi Henning Ph: +61 4 1118-2700 ZeroC, Inc. http://www.zeroc.com |

Fishing line works for me.
 Just make sure you tie a knot so that it isfastened securely. "Michi Henning" wrote in message ... "DEAN & MELISSA WILLIAMS" wrote in message ...

... Fishing line works for me. Just make sure you tie a knot so that it isfastened securely. Yes, but it's a bitch to tie knots into because it's thin (or stiff, if thicker), and slippery. Cotton thread is a good alternative (the rough kind that you use for cooking, to roasts together). Thick and pliable enough to easily handle and tie up, and you don't even have to remove it because it rots away after a few months.
