    u tie them to the drift wood securely using fishing line or black string, and wait for the plant to anchor itself on the wood.

    Personally I find tying is not so attractive but with time it will usually work. Black thread usually look better. To make the plants stuck naturally, I prefer to place the moss on the wood or stone in a shallow basin or tank and cover this with glad wrap to prevent it from drying. The moss should be above the water level. Then place this wood or stone in a bright place. If you spray the moss with a very dilute (10% of what is usually used) nutrient solution, they will stick faster. For Java fern, you may want to place pieces of leaves on the wood upside down and treat the whole thing as above. have not tried with anubisa before. Sorry.

    keeseng, how long does it take for the java moss to stick on with your method? Would there be any algae formed on the wood?
