Plants on driftwood !!

[Jlauro07]

Hi,, does anyone know how to grow plants on driftwood like moss, climbing vines, broomiliads, ect.????

[Martin Hansen]

Moss can just be tied to the wood with some fishing line. For the bromeliads I normally take some moss and tie it to the stolon and then tie the whole thing to the wood. It need to be properly secured because of the weight of the water in the reservoir. You can also drill a hole in the wood and put the stolon in there, but I haven't tried that

Martin Hansen please Can you please put a photo or tell me what stolon mean .. ?

[Martin Hansen]

The stolon is the leafless stem between the rosettes. If you plant is new you will probably just have a tiny piece of stolon beneath the leaf rosette but is should be enough

right now I'm trying to do this but what I'm doing is boiling the wood( if it was found outside) and then i score the area with a razor blade with deep lines and then i get some very dry moss (you can get it at like hobby stores) and then i shred it until its almost a powder by rubbing it in my hands and then i make like a paste out of it and apply it to the scored surface of the piece of wood
hope it helps good luck here's a ling to the video i learned this from>How To Make A Moss Terrarium - YouTube
