Hi All
Is there a term or category description for plants that grow attached to driftwood or rocks and do not need to be planted in the substrate?
Plants such as: Java fern, Anubias, African Bolbitis Fern. Could these plants be referred to collectively as “_______” plants?
I was thinking their might be a term for these aquatic/emergent plants; similar to how air breathing fish are referred to as “Labyrinths”, or mammals with pouches are “Marsupials”, flightless birds are ”Ratites” etc.
I ask because I am thinking about a new planted tank, but with only these kinds of plants and I really don’t know how to search for them, or how to ask about them as a group.
If anyone has any specific suggestion for a plant species that is like this, that would be helpful too?
Thanks!
