[edward198]

If I was too buy some drift wood (which I am planning on doing).. how would I attach plants to it and what type of plant is easy to do so.. with still looking great in my tank?

Hello ed...

I use thin, black sewing thread. Just tie the plant roots or rhizome to the piece. The thread eventually dissolves. By the time it does, the plant roots are firmly attached. I like to arrange some pieces of lava rock around the roots too. They cover the thread, so the plants look more natural.
