Re: [APD] Attaching Java Moss to bogwood

[Jamie Johnson <Jamie_Johnson at gel.com>]

Rubber bands should be fine for a while. They'll eventually break down 
and that may be where the mess starts. Plus they are little unsightly. I 
prefer to use a normal stapler. I staple the rhizome to the wood in 
several places. After a while the staples will rust away and the rhizome 
should be attached. They're small, easy to hide, and hold the plants well.
