very nice!! Whats the secrect?? daniel

Beautiful, I'd be interested in knowing how long they stay in this condition?

I'm sure the plant material must outgrow the scale, does heavy pinching work keeping plants minature?

- Again, thank you everyone for the feedback about the pictures I posted of my miniature moss landscapes. Reading all the comments means a lot to me, and has given me more inspiration and ideas. I will be able to respond to all the questions everyone asked when I'm done moving (by mid to late June)........

p.s. Wednesday, June 8th = hot sunny weather in the upper 80's/low 90's - In the day I manually mist them with my MULTI-PURPOSE COMPRESSED AIR PUMP SPRAYER (super fine mist setting).

At night I've tried keeping my miniature moss slab lanscapes from drying out by using my Sunbeam Model 700 Ultrasonic Humidifier (picked it up a Walgreens for around $20.00 .

Any moss that has dried out from the days heat, the humidifier keeps it cool & moist at night, as long as the air is still and not too windy.... it's a little tricky getting the unit in the right position.

......and as always, I can only use bottled/spring or distilled water as the town's tap water has been chlorinated. The town's water is so bad that I have to change the water distillers charcoal filter after every 5 gallons, and the filters are very expensive. I even tried the PUR water filters that connect right to the faucet, and I have had to replace a $20.00 filter for every ten gallons of water. So, it's cheaper for me to buy my water at Walmart for 0.89¢ per gallon.

The water situation is becoming expensive.
....but any ways, I will respond to all questions by the mid to later part of June when I have more time, and have finished moving.

Thanks again.

The figure on the right side looks like a man who's laid back on a rock fishing. ;-) Very nice!

can't you just collect rainwater?

and, you keep these in open air? how often do you mist? looks like tough and tolerant moss

Very cool!
