Recently learned that you can use metal plant weights (I bought ones from buceplant) to bundle up stem plants and plant in the background. Always struggled with planting background plants together in the back and in the sand, and this new way is so much easier and makes the plants look a lot bushier. Plus, when you need to trim you can. Just pick the group that is weighted together up, remove the weight, trim off the bottoms, and readd the weight.
Anyone else learn any new random tricks recently that you find helpful?
Thanks! I’m actually not sure. Im lucky to have an awesome lfs that sells sand by the pound out of a huge tub of it. I would say it’s about a medium grade size and has some mixed colors/materials as opposed to being super homogenous.
