Wouldn't unwaxed plain dental floss be fine?

Riccia line...what a load of crap, its just fishing line -
At least half the video was spent wrapping the riccia to the stone... lol

This guy doesn't know what he is doing, that much riccia line is overkill and in all likelihood the riccia will come floating to the surface because it doesn't root. You need some sort of wire mesh or dark green mosquito netting to cover the riccia... THEN and only then you may use riccia line to fold around and secure the netting or wire mesh around the stones. I use a needle to fold around the line. It is much easier to tie a knot using a needle than using your fingers and wasting line like that. He probably works for Amano and tgets all his riccia line free.

Riccia line? Riccia stones?
Please explain to me how that is any different than green nylon thread and small pieces of flint or slate?
Most of us weren't born yesterday... -
would it grow if I use a fine mesh and wrap it on a rock?

I think you should redo these videos or dub these with someone explaining it, While the video is nice and clear, the lack of sound really puts down the quality.

no sound, no explanation. Does this stuff grow away from the rock or just on the rock? This video isn't very helpful....
-
I can appreciate the time and effort but honestly I just grab one of those wash mit things at the drug store and cut it up into pieces and wrap the rocks that way; so much cheaper and takes about 30 seconds per rock
-
yup, it's the buoyancy.
-
I think you need more fishing line.
-
Can the plant breath with that much line wrapped around it? Also, How would i go about buying products from The Green Machine from the United States? I dont have any Sterling Pounds.
-
holy crap that stuff is never getting loose!
-
@NatthapolVanasrivila It will never root so it has to be really secure and even with this the riccia will eventually detach from the rock and float up
-
ho much line cand you wrap around it, geez
-
i bought this or 30 dollers and all i got was less than a hand full .-.
-
OMG. this is OVERKILL
-
Do you really need to wrap it that much? I think a couple wrap around the rock would be enough
