Advice on driftwood "decoration" (pic attached)

Hi All,
i have this awsome piece of driftwood in my work tank. looking to make it a bit greener, and more lively.. any advice welcome.
thanx

 

How about getting some Anubias and tying it on like this? Mine is attaching really well.

 

Looks really nice.. do u just strap it on or does the super glue trick work with this as well? i was looking at this month tank of the month winner, i like those star shaped plants under the driftwood. no idea what they are tho

 

I use cotton to tie them on. You can also use an elastic band. Both of these will break down after a period of time by which time they should be "rooted". Don't use superglue as it's a bit of a nasty product.

Ask Ivan about the Dorry TOTM...

 

do these anubias grow much bigger than that?

 

By big do you mean volume of plant or height. What you can see there are 2 different types of Anubias. They spread as they attach so yes, they are getting denser...

 

Tonina belem .:bigsmile:

 

thanx very much! i assume @ivan sells these? i haven't seen them anywhere

@MarcHawke im just worried they will cover the whole piece, but i guess i could trim as it grows

 

Anubias is a slow grower. Frustratingly slow in my tank!

 

not ferts or light related?

 

@Ryno has the same plant if i'm not mistaken.:idea:

 

No. They are quoted as being slow growers. Very undemanding and lovely looking. Not sure what happens when you apply CO2 and bright lights.

 

my kind of plant, will definetly give it a try. i have a little plant that attached itself to the piece, also have no idea what it is, kinda looks nice.. no idea where it came from either...

 

talking about the bellem? its a very difficult plants

 

Post a closer pic of the "attached" plant so we can ID it for you. Good luck with the wood and when in doubt, slack on your maintenance and it will grow full of algae :blink1:

 

will do thanx, will post a close up

 

my 2 zim dollars - or attach java fern/moss of some sort. The java ferns (any sort) are horribly underrated imo - they look fab, are easy to grow and if given a little time, form fabulous feature plants.

 

been reading up on it .. seams out of my league for now.. don't have what it takes but definetly one to work on

i will definetly do some moss but i think it will need something to complement it
