the latest in my sporadic posting career on UKAPS. Good to be back.
As usual, when every other source fails me, I come here for advice.
My latest order of plants arrived from Richard in AE yesterday and typically I realised that I hadn't fully thought through my planting plan. I had a vague notion that I might use HC Cuba on this beautiful lump of bogwood that I've been saving for a while. It's riddled with loads of small pockets that would be perfect to hold the plant.

So, has anyone had any success with this? Should I leave some rockwool attached to the plant to improve the chances of it staying put?
Will HC be happy on wood?
I'm dosing daily ferts and aiming for 25-30ppm diffused CO2 from a FE cylinder
I'm putting the journal together but this is how it looks so far. The crypts look sad but they were floating in a holding tank for 2 weeks since I dismantled their previous home. They'll bounce back.
Staurgyne (sp?) carpet was only planted last night and the floating wood is just a moss farm pending use in the next tank in a few weeks.

All comments are welcome and apologies for the linked photos. I can't get them to display in-thread for some reason.
