Err... the wrap is a bad idea... use nylon string to tie it down (fishing line) as it doesnt disintegrate or rust (unlike cotton and wire respectively)

cant the moss just attach itself to the wood naturally
without being tied down
cannot... it will not stick to the wood.
i did not put the wood in water
it is emersed
You can't use glad wrap simply because the plant would not be able to "breathe". Dun forget plants needs to exchange CO2 and O2 for photosynthesis and respiration.
Personally I like to use cotton string. It is much easier to handle compared to nylon fishing string. Unlike riccia, mosses will attach itself to the wood after some time.

let it emerse and if you can put a spray bar on top of it then use it to make it wet and not too dry.. and soon the moss will attach itself to the wood/stone. but the water from the spray bar must not be too strong that it will move the moss from the wood or stone..
If I have a dollar & you have a dollar & we swap, neither is better off. BUT if I have an idea & you have an idea & we swap we are both richer
I think Teo's doing that way at their farm...check out the 'misty' section...
a easier method, get a container (best an empty tank) place the mosses into it with a little water.. then use the glad wrap and cover the top.. this will retain the moisture it... it might take a while before it grow emersed.. but it should work.. I'm using the method with crypts
I have seen Java, Taiwan/Mini, Christmas Moss but what is Willow Moss ? Anyone got a picture of it ?
Hi Bro,
What i did for the williow moss is that I bought stainless steel plate from NA, lay them over it with a netting and over time it will grow over it completely without any sight of the net at all. If you want it to be on the drift wood, tie it with fine fishing string. It will be cover in no time.
You need to keep your water temp at 25 is possible as they will grow very fast.
Cheers

this is something which puzzles me. We are told that moss needs cold temp, below 28 deg Cel. Yet, when we talk of growing it emersed, our ambient temp is definitely way above 28, unless we're talking of growing it in an air-con room!
