Hi everyone.
This is possibly my first post here and it's likely to be a stupid question :laugh2:

I've just received some weeping moss which I intend to attach to a piece of bogwood with fishing line.

I also have a nice artificial rock made from Polyresin and I wondered if it's possible that the moss would take to that?

If I'm being stupid, say so - I did warn you all ^^^ :grin2:

fishing line works, also - sewing thread or LIGHT amounts of super glue.


I believe there is also aquarium-specific super glue....but have never used it.

I recently started a tank and used cotton thread about the same color as my wood to attach some flame moss. I found it at wal mart. In another tank I used fishing line to attach some Anubias and Java Fern to some "fake" driftwood.

I also used the Seachem superglue to attach some african water fern to manzanita. Each method worked fine for me. Just a personal preference as to what way you want to do it.

Thanks Veritas

It was more the attaching of moss to a polyresin which I was looking for the answer to though.

I don't see why not that it wouldn't attach to the polyresin. It attaches to rock

For weeping moss though it won't adhere, emmersed maybe

I used to use fishing line for everything but I started using the Flourish Glyear a few months ago. Works great and I love that you can put it on wet plans and wet wood and rocks

I cant get moss to attach to anything. I use black sewing thread and wrap it around several different types of wood. Moss grows, but never actually attaches... very frustrating.

What kind/type of moss?

Not sure about weeping moss, bit I have Java moss that has attached itself to the acrylic overflow in my tank, and it is pretty smooth.

You have to fight to STOP java attaching.

If you use glue be sure that you use the thickest (least runny) available. Thin glue will get all over the moss and can turn clumps of it into solid knots.

Loctite Super Glue GEL is a great glue to use. I used it for years to attach Corals to Live Rock in my Reef Tank. Use it now to attach Anubias and Buce to driftwood in my Betta Tank. It is a thick glue, you just have to hold it a bit in place.

Yes, the loctite gel works well. It does take a little time to bond though. Model airplane hobbyists use baking soda to accelerate it, but I wouldn't recommend that since it produces a surprising amount of heat that would damage the moss.
