Attaching anubias to driftwood

[CraigMac]

I just got 2 anubias I also have a driftwood centerpiece that I think will look great with the plants attached. So, how do I get the anubias to attach and grow on the driftwood? First thing, should I trim all the roots or leave the roots that are already 2-3"?

I leave the roots if they aren't in the way.
I use cotton thread and tie the Anubias to the wood. Or you can use Gel formula Super Glue ( but it may look white ).

You can use fishing line.. It's super transparent and hard to see if you tie it up right. You can also tie up some java moss to help conceal.

I tried rubber bands and wound up switching it to thread, I like the thread much better because it tends to start to break down on it's own after time and doesn't dig into the plant like the rubber bands did.

+1. I love brown/black/green thread. Change the color depending on what you're tying you can't see any of my like spindle of thread in my tank hahah.

Do you tie the main part of the plant, the stem thingy or do you tie the roots?

Tie the base of the plant, the part that will be touching the DW around it. Loose but tight enough.

Superglue gel, a dab or two and you are done, it's not visible if you use just enough to adhere it to the surface.
