tying java fern and Anubis

[AfternoonNarwhale]

Can I use regular sewing thread or plastic thread that seems to be the same as fishing line to tie down plants ? It won't release toxins or anything will it?

You can use weather resistant thread. (Marine quality)

Or you can use fishing line. I use both.

OK, thanks! I'll try the fishing line.

No problem! I personally use 10lb fishing line, because it’s so popular.

Yes, you can use threads to tie java fern and Anubias. Another option is to use super glue gel to attach ferns and Anubias.

I use both from time to time. (Just makes sure to keep your plant moist when your glue is drying. )

I use sewing thread. It eventually disintegrates but by that time the plants roots are clinging to the rock, wood, whatever.
