Secure & easy attachment of aquarium plants in the aquarium

There is an abundance of different aquarium plants available for aquariums, which can be attached to the aquarium in different ways depending on the type of plant.

Many aquarium plants form roots that are anchored in the aquarium substrate. These types of plants are placed in the substrate of the aquarium, which consists of sand, gravel or special growing medium or a combination of these.

Other aquarium plants, on the other hand, form root-like rhizomes that lie horizontally above the substrate. These aquarium plant species are therefore also suitable for mounting on pieces of wood or stones.

Mosses, on the other hand, are plants that can cling to different surfaces in the aquarium and can therefore be attached to stones, wood or other decorative objects.

Last but not least, there are floating plants that do not require any special type of attachment as they float on the surface of the water with the current.

There are basically two ways of attaching aquarium plants to the desired position in the aquarium.

Binding material for tying up aquarium plants

Firstly, aquarium plants can be tied to hard surfaces using special binding materials such as fishing line, nylon thread or rubber bands. The binding material is wrapped together with the aquarium plant on the corresponding surface.

It is important with this attachment method that the binding material is not pulled too tightly so as not to crush or damage the aquarium plants, so that healthy plant growth can be ensured.

Glue for aquarium plants

On the other hand, aquarium plants can be glued to stones, roots or other decorative objects in the aquarium using special adhesives.

With this type of attachment, it is important that you use a special aquarium adhesive that has been developed for use in the aquarium so that no harmful substances can enter the water in the aquarium.

Which mounting method you ultimately choose depends on the aquarium plant and object to be mounted in combination with your preferred method.
