Mosses and epiphytic plants can be attached to suitable surfaces.

The amount varies between pieces and with preparation. Monitor your water parameters rather than relying on wood to reach a specific pH.

A branching piece may need more clearance than its length suggests, and the shape should leave room for cleaning the glass. Choose the orientation before attaching plants, then check that the wood cannot move against the glass or obstruct equipment.
