Attaching Moss to drift wood

[Burgess]

OK i have a big piece of drift wood in my tank i just got a little bit of xmas moss when attaching it to the driftwood do i spred it out as much as posable and then tie it down with fishing line or can i bunch it up a littel and just tie it down?


And do i have to keep it tied down as it grows or does it grow in to the wood?

Sry never tried this befor had to get some info about it.

I discovered a cool way to attach java moss by accident- seriously

leave the moss on a piece of driftwood- let it dry- a day or two maybe it was days when this happened....don't worry about how dried up or dead the moss looks then put the wood back into the water the moss would by then be stuck like glue to the wood- nothing else needed to attach it!

give it few days/weeks I've never tried it again it grew green after being brown/yellow for a while

still stuck like a glue on one of my driftwood edges.

plus my advice if you feel you got a small portion- leave it in the tank to grow by itself unattached then spilt it into two and try it on different parts of the wood. the fishing line looks good so far trying to keep it in place


i'm too lazy to even go into the garage and try to get a fishing line spool and then go into the tank and try this myself so I just tuck them in wherever I think I can in the tanks


thats me, eh

you can use fishing line or black thread to secure it, i just did mine in a slightly spread out bunch and it spread fine

ty for the info i will try the fishing line first then if that doesnt work i will take it out and try proteus technic.
