Rubber tree roots.

Unread post by SCORPIO »

Lots of rubber tree (Ficus elastica) roots are available in my school. My students collected and put those at a place where direct sun light will be reach whole the day. I want to know that any guy used those woods ever in aquascaping?

this will leach heavely in water, so will need to be dried completely and then boiled to remove the tannin.
