tie it onto a driftwood or something else?
I wonder does anyone has good ideas of holding this plant down? I read from somewhere that it cannot be put into the substrate or the ends will rot, which I tried it myself and it didn't survive. Any good suggestions?

An afternoon trimming my watery garden is better

I let it float.
Nah.. I can't have it floating in the tank.. it will look horrible.Sorry. Tying to driftwood is not easy because the plant is very fragile

Don't be afraid of my duck!
By nature, hornwort is a floating stem plant..... it will only very rarely develop very weak and thin roots. You can certainly twine the stem round a wood or rock to keep it down, but there's no point trying to root it in gravel like with Cabomba, Tonina etc..... the buried part will simply rot or break off. For myself, I think it looks very natural floating on the surface.
hi budak,
i've been keeping toninas for sometime now and have observed that they do grow very week roots as you have described. is there any way to rectify this? thanks.
