Default Viney background for viv?

Please excuse if this has been asked before!

I bought a pretty, natural looking background for my new viv today. It is like a tree bark feeling, but seems to be made of small roots all stuck together. I'm siliconing it on, and have to cut a piece, and it's like sawing a regular piece of wood-it's very hard and very textured.

Has anyone used this stuff before? It looks great (or will once I can take all the braces away) I was concerned about it holding moisture the way I'd like.

It's pretty messy too, but it is made to put in an aquarium, so I figured it wasn't bad for the Darts I hope to put in there.

Any knowledge about this stuff would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

That's treefern... It's fine, but It won't hold too put moisture, Infact the water will just go right through...

Tree Fern Panel....Absolutely fine and safe. You might get some good random moss/plant growth from it also.

Thanks! I have attached some cork in between and around the rest of the viv, that'll help, right? I hope!

I'm also going to be putting in a waterfall, and lots of moss and plants, so I'm hoping I can get the humidity up to where it needs to be.
