It worked really well, but I don' think you'll need to do this for Taxiphyllum species. The moss will produce rhizoids (root-like structures) which will attach the moss to any rough damp surfaces. You could just tease the fronds out and lie them on the wet wood surfaces. Cotton would probably help to ensure a good contact, but you could remove it once they've attached.maybe you should read the thread about george farmer DSM where he use the blender and yogurt methods for attaching moss on wood or rocks
Hi maybe you should read the thread about george farmer DSM where he use the blender and yogurt methods for attaching moss on wood or rocks ! For me it s giving the more natural effect for moss ! Sorry for my English lol
Let me look at that thread and i will put the link

If you wanted to try covering a larger area the "blender and yoghurt" method should work.
Good point, they probably do. If you look at this picture (not mine, and I'm not sure which moss) it shows better what I meant, that the rhizoids from along the main axis will attach to the wet substrate in DSM.I thought all moss species had rhizoids
Even an aquatic moss like Fontinalis antipyretica (below) will naturally grow as long streamers, which don't attach. I assume a major method of propagation is for these stems to eventually be detached, and then caught in gaps in rocks etc down-stream where growth, and presumably re-attachment, will re-commence.
I can send you a sample if you interested in trying it out!
