Any good diyto keep plants from being uprooted in sand? My stem plants haven't enough roots to keep underground. I don't want to put metals in the tank.
I was looking at an aquarium supply site & saw a product by Seachem called Flourish Glue.
Don't know how long the product's been on the market but apart from gluing plants to rocks & driftwood, it also claims you can glue the roots to clumps of gravel &/or sand to keep plants from getting uprooted.
I take a small piece of scrap filter foam , cut a hole in the middle , put straw through the hole , put the stem and roots in the straw , pull straw out of foam , bury foam and plant in sand . See pic for better idea . Most time I can get the stems to stay without any help...lol
that's cool too. That's why I love this site....I learn all kinds of cool things!!
Thanks for sharing
