cpfc Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have a bunch of baby Java Ferns growing on the leaves of my ferns. What is the best way of ensuring I get them to grow? Do I pull them off or will they drop off? Do you tie straight away? Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave them be until they are a decent size, then plant (rhizome above gravel) or tie to rock or wood. Tie them. It's not hard. I was tying on some Anubias nana Petite a couple of weekends ago. I used the finest fishing line I had on hand, my son sprayed the plants with water to make sure they didn't dry out, and with a bit of creativity, none of the fishing line can be seen (or at least you have to go looking for it). Super glue won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfc Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I tried the fishing line on a large Anubia at home but it has come loose. It highlights my inability at knots. I have moved one fern and attached with a rubber band. Ugly but it will come off when attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
