ljtan55 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 What kind of plants stick well to driftwood? I've tried javafern but after a while mine go brown no matter what i do to em. I've got anubiases on some of my other tanks, but want something different for my display tank than anubias and mosses. Can any other carpet plants be grown on driftwood like glosso or lilaeopsis?

Faran Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Riccia can be grown attached to driftwood but it's a difficult process as it's a naturally floating plant and does not like being disturbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Not quite what you are looking for but I have seen ambulia attached to driftwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemines Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 perhaps you could try bolboltis fern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljtan55 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 wow thats different. I've been reading online and riccia sounds interesting, but difficult to maintain long term, but apos and ambuilia? so you have to tie em down right? and do they stick long term?

Faran Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 It should be easy enough to jam the bulb of an Aponogeton into a crack in the wood and get it growing in there permanently. Swords are the same, they'll just root out in every direction. Neither will grow properly in wood unless ferts are added to the water as they're heavy root feeders. You'd have to tie down Ambulia initially but it could affix itself fairly well if undisturbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I found the best thing to tie the plants to wood is very thin clear fishing nylon. Its only a couple of bucks for a reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
