I planted my java ferns in some gravel and heard that they need to be tied on a piece of driftwood or can't be in the ground. My LFS had them in the ground and they were ok I think. Do they have to be on a driftwood?
If I keep that part out of water will it be fine? The LFS that I go to is very knowledgeable btw. I don't think they would do it if there was no way to keep it alive because the java fern have been planted there for a long long time and they still look good
they probably sell quickly enough because it isn't possible to stop the rhizome from rotting if it is planted. it needs to be in water but cannot be planted in the gravelIf I keep that part out of water will it be fine?

Is there a way to keep only the rhizome above the water?
you can plant only the roots in the substrate if the roots are long enough but it is much easier to tie or glue them to rock or wood. there isn't any way to keep only the rhizome above water without killing the plantIs there a way to keep only the rhizome above the water?
I'm saying that because I don't have anywhere to put it
They mean that you can't keep just the rhizome out of the substrateBut it will dry up and die if it's out of the water.....I'm confused
you kept saying "out of water" instead of out of the substrate beforeOk so if I make room on my driftwood what can I put in the substrate that cichlids won't eat
They mean that you can't keep just the rhizome out of the substrate
wait what?
Now I'm confused
