Not trying it, not having it. And don't wanna meet the guy who came up with the idea in the first place!

It was reported to me by someone who helped set up the experiment.

Anecdotally, I've found the Spanish moss doesn't do well sitting on top of a pot and dies. Works well hanging from mounts though.

I’m putting it there to die

I might drape it low so it lives to the ground and then dies. It’ll look better.
