Question on US Fissiden
Hi everyone,
I'm considering tying some US Fissiden on my driftwood, however since I'm new to this hobby, I'm not too sure what are the requirements for this plant. Does it need high lighting and CO2?
Also, if I were to tie it on my drift wood, any idea if it will creep across to cover the entire drift wood or would it just grow outwards? I'm afraid my driftwood would look "bald" with patches of fissiden. Do let me know, thanks!

Cooler temperature helps fissiden to grow faster.
oh no i've just tied my US fissidens over my driftwood and it's very patchy.. anyone has experience tying fissidens to branchy driftwoods?
There is a way for the fissidens to cover the driftwood.. just tie it on the sides and bottom of the wood and let it slowly creep over the top as it will try to grow over to get more lightOriginally Posted by fishpoo
khseah79 - thanks for the advice, if I were to go with fissiden, will try out this method.
