    Hello everyone, this is my first attempt at planting and I'm hoping to learn from every one here .

    I have got these wonderful pelia free from someone here , and i had since tied them on drift woods and also on a piece of pebble . It has been about 3 weeks since I have planted them this way . However I am not sure how it will turn out to be or whether I have done it correctly . I have attached some pictures below of what I have done hoping bros here can assist in any form of correction for my pelia tying . Than you for reading and I am open to all suggestions , we are all here to learn !

    Good try. You are on the right track. Once the pelia get overgrowth, you may want to re-tie it.

    I think they should be fine.
    Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.

    Don't act smart. Be smart!

    Retie when it's overgrown?? Meaning I have to tie more ?? Would they root into the drift wood and pebble ??? Do I have to remove the mesh and lines after a while,? Thanks everyone for the help

    Pelia, does not root and will grow into a bunch pretty soon...low requirement plant,very good plant for newbies

    Pelia will grow out of the netting, you can trim off the excess and retie onto other stones or DW.


    Check out my Blog on planted tank, good for newbies ( i am lazy to retype all the info i know, so please click and read below link... i hope you don't fall asleep while reading)

    Pelia will stick to stone or driftwood after it is tied for a few months. It will grow in chunks, after which you can remove the fishing line, separate the new grown pelia and re-tie.
