I just tried this method. I highly recommend it. It gives you more precision on the moss placement. Now it’s a matter of time for the moss to grow!

[@horrorstateofmind2724]

About how long??

[@TankTested]

This is a great technique! I've always cut my moss, but I've never tried the dabbing techniques. It's on my to-try list now!

[@purplephoenix4969]

This seems a much better technique than me just gluing clumps to the wood. I'll try this next time. Thanks for the tip.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Good luck, let me know if it worked better for you

[@wrmlm37]

It's SO expensive! I am too afraid to try, but I WILL move it around a lot more than I intended! This super glue (I bought "gorilla glue" as recommended by a few others), technique gluing damp to damp, even my less porous manzanita, freaks me out. (Had a very bad experience with a fake Java moss ball-took tank to the bottom...dry, 2 times to get rid of this horrific "cancer"..it came back through filter, or tubing, or plants. So, brand new tank. Excellent LFS! Wish me so much luck! I love aquariums-for 50 years now:) But I could never chop like this, not in a new aquascape anyway.

[@Rustysheriffsbike]

I tried this technique last night and can say it's an awesome pro tip! 👌🏻

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

You welcome Daniel!

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

Im about to try something like this on Wednesday or Thursday....does it work and how are your results a year later?

[@Rustysheriffsbike]

@@petergeanacopulos5327 yes it works amazingly. The moss really takes hold and grows quickly.

[@petergeanacopulos5327]

@@Rustysheriffsbike This is great to know, much appreciated. I have some plants coming in tomorrow and I want to adhere some of the moss I got to my driftwood. Should I pre-clean the surface of the driftwood?

[@AsianAmericanGuy]

​@@petergeanacopulos5327 how did your project turn after 2 years I'm about to do the same right now.

[@cjlafargue]

Thanks for the tip. I hope we get to see some follow-on videos of this river aquascape, which looks really attractive. I've got a question--so I've noticed that superglue leaves a white spot. Say that after a year I'd like to dismantle my aquascape and reuse the driftwood to which I'd attached moss with superglue. Will there be some unsightly white spots remaining? If so, is there a way to remove them? Otherwise, shall I presume I should try to cover those spots with more moss/plants in the second aquascape?

[@darlingbabyjay5815]

Two questions: what type of superglue did you say was best and what are the best places to buy moss from?

[@KevLow754]

Great tip. But would of loved to see a clip at the end of how it turned out after a couple months.

[@wandaoshiro2014]

Thank you Jurijs for sharing this great tip! Question, the reason why to glue chopped moss & to dap the moss onto rocks or driftwood, is to look less clumpy & have a more natural look? I do a "George Farmer Style", stuff the moss between rocks & driftwood. 😉

[@karlsuen6934]

Hi Jurijs, could you share how to clean the white mark of the super glue on the hardscape? I used glue on the rocks and woods, and I can not reuse them when I want to rescape because of the white mark. Thank you very much!

[@osamashandi1881]

I used this method before i watched all amano’s videos Perfect way

[@joerizdanediscaya4318]

What type of super glue are you using

[@Heather_-lh1ff]

I tried something similar with the flourish glue.. but it left very unsightly white patches everywhere... could anyone tell me how 2 avoid this? I tried using smaller amounts. maybe regular gel super glue is better?

[@deriismayandi]

I found this trick recently, well not that I know of but, like you said it makes a lot of grow points.

[@deriismayandi]

Yes it does 👍

[@mikeswain9085]

Thanks for the great tip Juris. Is it best to have the branches wet as in your video, does it make a difference?

[@AdelleRamcharan]

Gorgeous scape :)

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

thank you Adelle

[@evankwan2411]

So I tried the technique and I got good coverage on the lava rock I put it on, but now I have a bunch of white glue spots and it totally kills the beauty of my scape, is this expected and I just need to grow it out?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Yes, the moss will grow and cover up the glue

[@RWAquariumPages]

love this tip. going to give this technique a try on my next scape

[@josemontalvo4532]

Excellent video! Now I have some new ideas thanks to you! I enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing!

[@chloem7404]

Is this also effective for christmas moss?

[@TuckerWoolsey]

Probably

[@user-vk8hr1ti4l]

This is very interesting, never knew you could attach moss like this. Would this same technique work for tissue culture, which I assume are more fragile?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Yes, absolutely

[@kuatiogui]

can we use this method under water? example the rock or driftwood is already in water, then i apply the glue on the rock/wood, and then paste the moss on it, all this done under water...?? possible...?

[@laurit3116]

Can you use this method for Christmas Moss?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

yes it works with any type of moss. I wouldnt use it with riccardia or fissidens and riccia though

[@cl1400]

Seachem plant glue works with this trick? Also the plant dont die if i cut it in small pieces randomly?

[@terrychi]

Is it works for dry start method ??? Please answer

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Yes, however for dry start I would prefer the moss mud method

[@13turtledrew]

Would this work for mini fissidens? Amazing tip! Thank you!

[@larrydsAquatics]

Will be using this tip with my next project 👍👍👍

[@tamaskucsora8472]

Hi Jurijs, With this technique, can i avoid to get the white glue pieces (when it get solid) visible? Or thats only a matter of time when the moss grow enough so it will cover the glue? Thanks

Use only little thin amount of glue and with this technique it will become Invisible

Hallo Juri, wieder ein guter Tip. Könntest du mir ein sehr langsam wachsendes Moos empfehlen das ich auf meine Wurzel kleben kann bevor ich darauf eine Bucephalndra klebe. Denke es sieht so natürlicher aus. Möchte nicht das das Moos wenn es zu schnell wächst die Buce verdeckt. Könnte ich da auch einen Moosball zerlegen und den als Moosunterlage verwenden? gruß Micha

Also, have any tricks to amend sand substrates after the tank is filled? Keep up the amazing work! Between you and @Georgefarmer, I'm inspired daily!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Yes

[@julianzhao4589]

Does this work with fissidens fontanus or is phoenix moss too delicate?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Don’t do this technique with Fissidens. Instead you can do the moss mud method. Basically chopping fissidens and mixing with a little soil dust and water and painting on hardscape, followed by a dry start. I have done this to my full ADA 60p, you find it among the older videos

[@azaryaros7471]

Can chop Christmas Moss and apply it the same way?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

yes, works with any kind of aquatic moss, however I prefer species that will attach by themselves over time, and Christmas moss however is not good at attaching itself to things..

[@vikashagarwal6092]

I tried ur technique with gel type glue with Java moss after a week it's turning brown What's may be the reason

[@sujaythomas]

Did you buy the moss from the store one week back, or did you put it from another of your tanks? Most stores in India would sell Java moss that was grown emersed, which probably means that your moss is getting used to growing underwater. Wait for 3 more weeks and look out for green tips - new growth. Fertilizers and regular waterchanges help. If you want things growing faster, Seachem Advance can accelerate growth.

[@questcockagility]

I used super glue similar technic (small pieces attached) for Riccia Fluitans. Will it work or it will detachs after few weeks, what do you think? I read lot of article, but usually everybody use fishing line for Riccia, so I am not sure if it was a good idea or bad idea to glue it. 😬

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Not good imo. Riccia will be damaged by the glue and die off quickly. There is a reason everyone uses fishing line 😉

[@questcockagility]

Oh, thanks for the answer.

[@mizzbee7406]

I'm so confused... is this for fish? Super glue? What's happening?

will the glue cure with moss drpping water ??

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Yes it will even cure underwater

[@DarkJesterHead]

how can you tell which kind of glue is non toxic to the fish?

[@omegachar4754]

cyanoacrylate glue is safe. It is even used in medical conditions on humans.

[@liquidkick]

Do you have an "attach Moss with fishing line" video? Can you link it? Or do one?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

not yet, fishing line is less easy to use compared to a cotton thread like Mosscotton. however, if you need a thread that's going to last "forever" use nylon thread, it will not dissolve like cotton

[@SpiritAquatics]

Will this method work with fissiden?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

yes, but use only very little amount of glue, eventually test first on a spare piece of hardscape
