Thank you!

There's a number of ways to do that, Filippo. When I need to get a plant firm in the pot in fluffy moss I usually make a ball of moss (adequate to the plant size), put it between the roots leaning it on the underside of the rhizoma and tying it with string. I then position the plant in the pot and fill the empty spaces with moss. Usually this is enough for the plant to stay firm :).
