    Default How to grow fake plants

    A friend sent me this article to tease me about my planted tanks. It's pretty cute.

    Well I just think everyone should have had that one tank with the sunkin ship, the bubble treasure chest and fake plants at on point!!

    Plastic plants....Twice as expensive and dont reproduce nearly as fast as real ones.

    It's OK, it's all part of the 12 step program, admitting to owning fake plants is the 1st step.

    its a nice artical, it also makes a lot of sense, I need to try the grafting with the 3 fake plants I have. I wonder if they grafting will work with real plants.
