Re: [Aroid-l] off subject:: rain forest tree moss

From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2004.09.14 at 03:06:45(12191) Thanks for taking the time to reply. What I'm looking for is a dense-growing, green, and relatively short (less than 6") moss that usually grows around the limbs like a shag carpet. It doesn't hang down like the Spanish moss, which I already have. I've tried the local tree moss, but it doesn't tolerate greenhouse temperatures very well. Thanks again for your interest.
