drdawg said:Jacquie, I am not sure about those sphagnum moss forms. I mount all my tillandsia straight to the wood mounts without moss. I do use sphagnum moss when I mount orchids and staghorn ferns though. Maybe when you have a break, you can take a photo or two of those moss forms so that I better understand what they are. Another idea for mounting tillandsia (or any other air-plant) is using tree fern plaques. This stuff holds very little water, is light, and doesn't tend to break down. Because of the nature of tree fern, roots attach very quickly and very securely to it. You can hang these plaques or sit them on a flat surface. I typically use cork or other (wild) woods, but occasionally will use tree fern.

I was really upset when I saw the moss forms. They were so much bigger than I expected. I have to have something smaller so if you have a place where I can look at the tree fern plaques or the wood mounts please let me know. I will not be doing anything until after we close and have our Christmas. We are really busy this year. Trees are selling like crazy. We sold over 200 trees in 7 days. Facebook has been a real help in promoting the business. You may want to make a page if you do not have one already. I keep our page going all year with just little posts and it really took off this year. They also offer stores on Facebook. It does not cost anything either. I did very well with the plants on FB too. Talk later. You may want to Tmail me with the info so we do not take up time and space not of any interest to others.
