Driftwood plants

[Scoot35]

I was wanting to know if any one could tell me the best plant that will attach itself to a pieces of driftwood I just purchased and how to attach it until it attaches itself

Three best plants are Anubias, Java Fern, and Java Moss. It all depends on the look you're going for!

The easiest way to attack them is to use some string to tie them on. It can be difficult depending on the driftwood piece.

You've got a couple choices. Anubias, Java Ferns both regular and Wendilov, Bolbitus, and Mosses. All work well and look good. I tie my DW plants on with 100% black cotton thread. The thread dissolves over time and by then the plants are attached.

And I can get these at a lps?

Many of them, I actually just picked up an Anubia and Wendilov Java Fern at Pet Smart a couple weeks ago.

As Rivercats said, PetsMart can carry Java Fern and some Anubias. If you can find a dedicated fish store, I would be surprised if they didn't carry it!

This is the driftwood piece I purchased

I like the piece of DW. Plenty of places to attach plants.

This was the backside of it

 

[Rivercats]

I actually like the backside better.

 

[Scoot35]

Yeah i was debating but I believe I agree with you

It's more interesting and there is much more you could do as far as adding plants to it.
