It depends on the plant, some you can tie with fishing line or if you want you can use like gorilla glue (or any aquarium/water safe superglue).
Others need and like to be planted into the substrate, and some like to float to the top (hard to say what plant you are saying you need help with specifically).

Thank you for this information I'll certainly take note of this when I get round to planting.
