Stapling java fern to driftwood?

[chaq]

Hi, is this how it's done to grow java fern on drift wood? Cos i remember some forum members doing so when setting up teo's 9 foot tank some time back. I feel its much easier this way than tying with nylon threads. Can work? cos i went to teo and see his java fern growing nicely leow

Ya, I am interested to find out for Windelov as well. Can Windelov staple onto the drift wood as mentioned by Chaq too??

Yes, you could staple them, both windelov or narrow or normal. Be careful not to crush the rhizome.

An alternative is to use cable tie or twisty ties to secure the rhizome.

isn't staple will rust? it just like putting a time bomb or should I say slow effect poison into the tank and eventually u end up? Why my pets die?

I would still say that using thread or fishing line will be the best.
