Java moss will work. You'll have to attach it with fishing line untill it attaches itself.

I've seen people use the needlepoint/plastic sheets found in the fabric/craft section at wally world. you can cut it whatever size you need and tie the moss to the wall. Search on aquariacentral, seem to remember a thread about this on there.

You want a plastic thread not a cotton thread.

lol??? have no idea what your talking about....

I found a tutorial of how to do it threw google, it told me to use soft mesh like the screens for windows. and to jsut place your moss on it pretty much then use suction cups to hold it to the glass and put a second same length mesh over the first one that has your moss on it.... but i just didnt see how this worked how the moss just stayed there?

the mesh works if you sandwich the moss between two pieces of mesh

If i make a sucessfull moss wall i will take pics for a tutorial since there seems to be none on the forum! i have a good idea of what i need but instead o java fern i need to do christmas moss for sure it will look alot better so my irst task is to find someone with a good big sorcer of christmas moss for me :)

if you use small Java Ferns you can tie the root down to plastic mesh to create a plant wall space them about 1.5" to 2" apart and they will grow in
