tying moss
- Thread starter plantnoob

Hi,
Just wrap it, it'll then grow where it wants, perhaps outwards, perhaps all over. There may be a slither that it won't grow on, but moss will surprise you how little light it needs
Here's some of mine in desperate need of a trim and not the healthiest specimens you'll ever see but it'll give you an idea....much depends on the angle of your wood and moss species used as to whether it will grow right round. Uprights tend to get coverage but horizontal will most likely have a bare bum those mosses which attach such as taxiphyllum Barbieri will tend to get better coverage also, Christmas, weeping etc hang which gives the impression of full coverage on horizontal wood.
Cheerio,
Ady.

Tie it on top and round the sides a little, it will grow where its is happy to. You need a lot of patience and Id also recommend using maxima chameleon line, i used 2lb and may of been a little too thin as its like tying hair but is invisible.
Too slow... what Ady said.
