Bonsai that looks awesome. I wonder, can driftwood from the ocean, salt water, be used also. Does the salt cause potential harm? If so will just washing it down with a hose make it ok? Or is it better to just look for it in a lake and stick to the fresh water variety.

I've used drift wood form the ocean before and all I do is wash it with lots of water.

I like the piece on the far right; kind of gnarly yet soft! Is there any other way to mount them on there? I'm not a fan of the sphagnum moss... I think it's the only way tho go though or the roots would dry out too soon right? Would Osmunda fiber work?

Thanks Wanda, the ocean is a lot closer than the lake and has plenty of it, probably.
