I'm curious to see everyone's before and after shots of their plants...how many of you are planning on potting and how many are planning on mounting?

Just one thing I found when I did this recently... Make sure you use a non-porous object for the form. A glass bottle works really well. I also tried using a spare terracotta pot, and the moss just stuck to the pot and wouldn't come off cleanly, keeping its shape; so I had to re-do the whole thing!!
PS. Thanks for sharing those links here, Niki!!! |
