Hornwort in cholla wood..

[CaT209]

From my experiences cholla wood makes a nice planter for a variety of plants. And can help against the fish that like to dig up plants
First time using hornwort in it. I usually cut up the cholla wood into smaller pieces (drill out bigger holes if needed) if the center hole is large enough already a small ring is all you really need.
Have had fun cutting a few length wise and doing a few different plants in a series or just covering it in grass or miss and using them as little arch ways for fish to rest under...

After a little more scaping and I'm leaving it like this. The plan is to replace the silk plant set up already in the tank

That's a nice tip.

I'd never thought of doing that, and I can see it being a useful way to disguise any unsightly plant weights as well.

Thanks

One of the reasons I joined this forum is to find ways of anchoring stem and rhyzome plants. I also thought of adhesing small rocks in a circle to stick a hornwort or similar stem plant in the hole and put the lead thing on the bottom, moveable and easy to prune from the bottom.
