Subject: Material in plant containers?
|
When you buy live plants at the pet shop, they come in those plastic
containers that are stuffed full of some sort of spongy material. I don't
think it is aquarium floss. Does anyone know what the stuff is, or where to
buy it? I need to "transplant" some of my live plants into other
containers, and want to use this stuff (I have no substrate in my tank).
Thanks!
Devin

I know it as rock wool. I don't know a local source, but the white
filter padding which comes in sheets to be cut with scissors would best
approximate rock wool. I don't know if that's similar enough. Note that
rock wool is used for transport and should be removed prior to planting,
so as a temporary material, the filter padding might be adequate. You
can always ask the question in r.a.f.plants.
