In the bottom picture, did you attach your Java moss to the roots of the java fern? If not how did you create that look?

I guess it's a bit like a sandwich, the wood the java fern is attached to is sitting on a clump of java moss with the rock beneath it. Meant I didn't need to glue or thread
I think I'm going to add this to my Scape. It hasn't negatively affected the java fern has it?
