A decayed rubber band is easy to remove without damage to the plant.

A rubber band, fishing line or thread works well for attaching the plants. Rubber bands are the best choice, because by the time a rubber band begins to decay, the roots are usually developed enough to hold the plant to the wood. Because it sinks naturally, it is easy to attach plants, such as java fern and Anubius to the wood. If you are looking to have a planted aquarium, Malaysian wood is a great option. Not only is Malaysian wood aesthetically pleasing, it can actually give direct benefit to your tank. Malaysian wood is a popular choice for aquariums because, unlike other types of driftwood, Malaysian wood will sink. One of the most beautiful, but natural ornaments that Centreville Aquarium sells is Malaysian wood. Many people prefer to set up a more “natural” looking tank.
