sucker caps and tie on or a small piece in the soil is also ok or place a small rock on the leaf ? cheers jk :thumbup:

cool,might try it tomorrow.
i did think about useing some plant lead,wrap round the leave and stick the end in the sand.

I have used the suction cup on the side of a tank, & it works a treat..
Mostly I tie to a rock and drop the rock in , easy to move around too..
You don't wanna bury it in the sand..It needs to be in the water column to get it's nutrients from the water....

This one is Needle Leaf Java Fern

Hi all,
I usually take them off with a bit of the parent leaf and then staple the old leaf onto some wood. You can also use superglue (cyanoacrylate) to attach them to slate pebbles etc, super-glue is plant/fish safe once it has set.
