Help

[ronaldhanko]

I am doing an enclosed display for our orchid show and needs suggestions as to small plants and mosses to use in what will be a miniature landscape with a waterfall. Can anyone help?

I've seen something called Riccia mentioned as a moss or moss substitute. What is it and can I use it?

good luck!

Ron -

Riccia is an aquatic floating plant that will sometimes grow out of the water like a moss if the substrate is wet enough.

Ron, I might be stating the obvious here, but I think you're best bet would be to check out some forums dedicated to vivariums

Thanks, Glen and Brotherly.

How long do you have before the set up needs to be ready?

Middle of February.

Ron - The reason I asked was Ray @ First Rays carries what he calls a moss milkshake that gives results in several weeks. Here is a link to the product:

Hope this helps!

That's a cool idea, Glen. Thanks.

I thought so too so I ordered one for myself. I plan on doing a build over the winter so it will come in handy.
