TheGardenofEder Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've Been using silicone for all my plants if I can't use a screw driver and wedge the plant into some cholla wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 to what? If you plan to attach to wood, you can use fine mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've been thinking of mesh on ceramic tiles. Do you think that would be okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you won't see it once it start to grow. and also you can use stainless steel mesh and fish line. secure it on the one side, face down.

r45t4m4n Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Riccia won't stay attached though, it will float at some point. Had mine fastened to SS mesh with fishing line, lasted about 3 months. svetilda and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreeflow Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah, it looks great but it's temporary. As it grows, it will start floating around and cause a mess. Looks amazing when maintained but that's the hard part. How about mini pellia for a similar look? It's quite a bit darker but very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I kind of regret my time with riccia. It got loose, went all over, and grows very well from tiny pieces, kind of like duckweed. I've got it mostly fished out now, but I spent a long time grabbing individual strands out of my moss, my floaters, my ferny plants, etc. to really get all of it gone. I mean a really long time... although it's somewhat meditative to sit in front of the shrimp tank with a bamboo skewer lifting out individual strands of riccia, I spent hours doing it and will likely never try the riccia thing again.
