Using Crazy glue or fishing line
Are some methods for attaching moss
But crazy glue kills your moss
And fishing line doesn’t work for odd shapes.
The “Netting” method for attaching moss
Is by far the easiest
And most effective method for attaching moss
And you probably already have the materials you'll need
You'll need
A pair of scissors
A bath sponge
Your choice of moss
A twist tie
And the item that you plan on covering with moss
brilliant! I tried my 1st ever moss, and it all died due to glue. what a messy disaster for a newbie. your video has given me hope to try moss again!~ thank you!
Myself and thousands of others have been using super glue for years with no issues.It wasnt the glue I can assure you
Glue works fine, the problem is people use way too much and they put it on the wrong spots of the plant. I have multiple different mosses and Anubias petite as well as Java ferns all glued to driftwood and dragonstone rocks and they’ve been growing great for years. I even glued my Christmas moss to my bonsai tree and now it’s a full tree. The main trick is to use the smallest amount of glue you can get away with, and make sure you’re not placing the “root” side on the glue itself, you don’t gotta glue the whole plant down, just find a safe spot on the plant where you can stick the plant to the dab of glue and let it hang
Great tip, I’ve just covered the top of a swim through mushroom ornament using this method, I was a bit worried I might have planted it a bit to dense but it’s probably a little more spread out than yours was so hopefully I should be fine.
What a great idea. This has helped me hugely. Thanks :)
I just place inside cholla wood and it finds its way out. 👍👍👍
wow, never taught of that before :O. trully ingenious :O
Twist ties have metal inside it.
this is super clever, I'm going to fo this with my java moss! Is the netting visible even after the moss grows for a while?
WTH, can't you find something better to do. I hope your girlfriend leaves your spineless ass!😣 No respect, good luck on a meaningful relationship.
I just loved it man!
a couple of cable ties 👍🏼😎 does the job for me
So you eventually take the netting off or keep it on, does it attach itself to the driftwood and than you take the netting off?
This is what I want to know. I assume you keep it on for a few weeks and then it’s attached itself?
Gus, thank you so much.
Will the ties rust? Could you use rubber bands instead ? I definitely don't want rust in the tank.
Detroit Holly I’m thinking of trying this but instead of twist ties I’m going to use some of my daughter’s small hair ties. They are some type of plastic/rubber material
Definitely would rust. I had one on a potho's to hold it down. Rust started really quick.
@@drgnflyluv00 I ended up using clear fishing string. But my panther crab tore everything off to make the ultimate giant moss hut anyway lol
Just substitute the twist tie with a small plastic zip tie.
Hi Gus.. this was great. Awesome Idea. =D
Cool that's a good idea 👍
love this
How long before you can remove the netting? Anyone know?🙏🏽😊
very informative thank you!
+Nicky Q
Thanks Nicole ^.^
Wow so clever
Wont the metal from the twist ties rust?
Martin Medeiros If you think the amount of toxicity coming from the negligible amount of metal in a twist ties going to harm any amount of fish you’re whacked
Fishing line works too
Awesome!!!!
can i cut the mesh off after?
Body sponge, lol great idea, thnx🇨🇦
Thanks dude!!
Nice simple idea thanks
May I ask, where did you purchase your flame Moss in the video from? It looks amazing man!! And thanks for the awesome advice!
Tropica
Were those twist ties you tied it off with? Also do you ever remove the netting or is it just permanently there?
Twist ties🙌
Myaquariuminfo wouldnt they rust? I asume they worked for you haha - but yeah?
Please answer about rust
I see the thing that says, "If You See This Your Rock!^.^"
+JR Galore
Good eye (;
Genius! Does the net deteriorate over time?
+Kauakanilehua
Thanks! I haven't had it deteriorate myself even after months👌
Good idea, but doesn't the twist tie RUST?
That's my question. Guy said to ask questions in comments then never replied to any
I try my best to answer the most questions I can, however I do get over 100 a day. But I do reply. As far as the rust goes, once it attaches you can simply take it out. Rubber bands can rip and wont allow the moss to secure itself.
@@myaquariuminfo what about using a zip tie instead? No metal - completely plastic. Not sure if aquarium safe though.
I have a place in my tank and I want to put the moss on my driftwood, is there anyway I could make it so the place could still eat some of the wood
+Wobbe gong tie it to one side and trim it if it tries to grow along the wood.
Just wow
Can we use coral to grow christmas moss
Is there a way I can do it without seeing the net because I’m putting moss on my bonsai tree and I want to be able to see the moss
Can I still do this same method with full grown flame moss
did u put co2 to the tank?
HI! After gluing the plant to the driftwood, how long should I wait before I add them in to the tank?
can i just add moss from somewhere by the creek and add it on top of anything if i just wrap it with mesh?
I must rock then :)
+XxBriflexX
I'm doing that one today too (;
Glue will not kill plants. It has to be gell
can mosses be placed in tanks with rosy barb, tiger barb, or angel fishes?
Donald Jr. Labajo yes
@@aquaticmaniac8979 what about gouramis, gold Fishes, corydora cat fishes, pleco and molly? Can we keep moss?
Riccia fluitans?
I just use super glue
Guau que copado🙆🏻♀️🤗🇦🇷
🙌😀
How long before you remove the netting? Can I use cheese cloth? And super glue kills, even the gel kind?
🤘
what type of moss is 1:26
+MARIA TAVAREZ
Flame moss (: it grows really fast amd looks awesome👌
Do you leave it on forever or take it off in about a week?
You can leave it on forever. The idea is that the moss will eventually cover the entire thing (whatever you put the moss on) and in time you wont even be able to see the netting.
People have been using super glue for many years with no issues. Tagashi amono did it this way and I'm sure u know of him
This way you can't even see your driftwood!
When can you take the netting off, though?
I’m intending on leaving my netting on as the Moss will eventually just cover the whole thing.
@@wilber1982 awesome. That's what I was thinking too. I've had my net covered rock in my tank for about 3 weeks now!
What happens if I don't cover my moss evenly
+Wobbe gong you'll have a patchy moss floor 🤷♂️
It is ok just to attach to a rock instead of cholla wood?
Yes, ofcourse! Sorry for the late reply, college finals!
Does the tank need co2 gas connection for the moss to grow
No it doesn't need it, but it helps!
Glue kills the moss??
no.
how long does it take for it to attach itself
Can u still cut the net out later on??
+Unpwnable
Yes,
You can even tuck the net into your substrate to keep it in place (:
What kind of moss is that
flame moss! the best!
cholla wood (pr. choy-ya ) I grow it in Nevada.👽👽👽
Sorry saw perfect
M’
Kinda ugly actually. I guess it works if all you care about is that it attaches?
This is going soooo fast i had to rewind so many times.
Need to see resalts
Do I really rock?
