Thank you, and good morning! Group hug

Whenever I'm making the hypertufa pots,... I like to have completely unorganized childlike fun with the leftovers, and rapidly form the 'Cow patties' pots as I call them!
Schploop! Done!

Actually they look really terrestrial when planted, and I pack only sphagmum moss (not peat moss) tightly aroung the roots of the bromeliads or succulents I plant in them. Then I like to spin a little bit of living air plant, Spanish Moss around the base to give it a birds nest effect. (I grew the most incredible and fast multipying Haworthias for years in a 1" only layer of tightly packed sphagmun and no soil in an abalone shell for years, and just fed it once in a blue moon with liquid fertilizer)

Hypertufa. You can do it! Hilarious!

This picture is all about the central pot with the dangle on it and the plant in it. That is a really cool Tillandsia that that lives in some of the trees here, and this one fell from one in my back yard a couple of years ago. They look so cool in a pot.
