over the next few Months, I will be trying new ropes such as
Coir, Sisal and Manila * - which biodegrades the slowest,
in hopes another rope medium will grow my moss even better.
I hope to achieve more even new moss growth distribution
without the interior moss browning and bruising as much.
Ideas that I have delayed working on were; using aluminum
wire to bend rope to keep any shape, and the marimo rope.
In the meantime, I came up with another moss growing idea.
We'll call it a Moss Bundle. I take a bit of my UV protected
1/2" clear mesh, fold it, stuff some moss in, then sew it up.
mount it on your glass with suction cups, or hang it vertical.
remember, it's not rigid, so it can be twisted into any direction,
so I could insert an aluminum wire inside later, to hold a form.
As always, I'll post a progress photo in a few Months on this
and also quantify any benefits of using different rope types.
If anyone has done their own rope moss projects,
I would enjoy it if you post a photo for us to see.

using flame moss
* I was advised by a
natural rope specialist to
avoid;
Cotton, Hemp, Flax rope materials for such a project.
