ADA Wood Tight Plant-Fixing Wire

ADA Wood Tight is a vinyl-coated wire used to hold aquatic ferns and Anubias on driftwood while their roots attach. Its brown colour blends with the wood, keeping the temporary fastening discreet within the layout.

Position the plant before fastening

Choose the place on the driftwood where you want the plant to grow, then use the wire to hold it in position. The purpose is temporary support during attachment. Avoid crushing the plant as you secure it and leave the growing parts free to develop.

Wood Tight is a fastening material rather than an adhesive. It lets you position the plant against the wood while maintaining a connection that can later be cut and removed.

Remove after the roots attach

Once the plant is rooted firmly on the driftwood, cut the wire with scissors and remove it carefully. Check that the plant remains attached before taking away all of the support. Remove the cut pieces from the aquarium.

Choose ADA Wood Tight when the layout calls for a discreet, removable tie for ferns or Anubias. It is particularly useful during the initial placement of these plants on a wood-based aquascape.
