At petco, i just saw metal twist ties for plastic plants that are safe for aquariums... if u have something light that u can silicon to the plants, you can then weight them down with these twist ties... a pack of 8 runs a buck

you could look for some rock called feather rock... it's like a pomace volcanic rock... it drills and cuts really easy... but the thing is that you have to make it sink to the bottom...

the trick is to boil it, then toss it into ice cold water... the stone soaks up all of the cold water into it's heated pores... pretty simple... then drill and glue the plants to the bits of rock and viola...



also... petco hustles some rocks that have little holes for fake plants... but they are baller and pretty ugly IMO...
