how can you mount this? i wasnt planning on getting it but i did. i see it has roots and it is in a pot so is it a terrestrial plant or can i also use it for background or even have it grow on some driftwood?
basically how can you plant this plant?

Yes, it's terrestrial in the sense that you'll need to plant in the soil. But,once it gets going, this stuff will climb and grow via aerial roots throughout the viv like crazy and you'll need to prune it pretty regularly to keep it from completely taking over.
I have some that is growing across the top glass in one of my tanks.
But now you've got me thinking - I wonder if it would grow epiphyticly (sp?) once aerial roots have taken hold?
i think i have seen creeping fig from on background. my plan is to grow it on wood and.or background. i guess i could plant it really close to the back ground and just glue or tie the "creeping" portions of the plant to the background.

thats pretty much what I do - plant it close to whatever I want it to climb and it'll climb right up in no time.
I have mine planted in just gravel, and it is doing great. Climbing up my corkbark. I just pulled it out of the dirt it came in and then washed off the roots. You can see it in the middle on my Azureus tank on my site. That picture is right after it was planted.
