Beautiful! Thanks for the tip! I love how natural this looks.

It SHOULD work for other mosses, too. Folks who garden with non-aquatic mosses in the outdoor landscape use a similar technique.

Zapins and all, Like Zapins said it probably will work with any kind of moss but I think it will only work on rough, semi rough rocks and wood. They will need something to grab onto.

Ya. Didn't have as much luck as the OP and I'm using some rough/porous rocks. Time to go with an epoxy solution on the rocks. Light coat of epoxy with a brush or via a spray bottle and sprinkle the moss on top. Let it dry, and voila.
